I don't know much about Fletcher Prouty,but I would make this observation on your post above.
As a person who has had multiple shrapnel wounds,I think this is pure BS.In order for this to happen,Hubbard would have needed an open wound there for that metal to just fall out.I have had shrapnel start to hurt and "work it's way out of my body",but these needed surgeries.Shapnel will not work it's way out all by itself and just fall to the floor.It would need an open wound.

Quote:Miller treats the subject of Hubbard's "wounds" as though they were non-existent; yet, on page 218, he quotes a "Ray Kemp... a Royal Navy radar technician" saying:
"I knew he had been wounded because one night he kept complaining of a pain in his side and when he stood up a little bit of shrapnell [sic] fell out from under his shirt."
