Good eye there. MacArthur still gets too much press given his megalomania and mixed battlefield record.
-
Yeah but his brilliant loss of his entire airforce (let alone using it offensively) is one of the most understudied victories in history.
-
Referring to keeping B17s on the pad after he got word of Pearl? A Japanese victory? Yeah, not a good moment.
-
Yeah Sutherland and McArthur spelled their own doom in the hours post attack at Pearl. I don't buy that 35 relatively novice B-17s 1/n
-
Would have been able to destroy the Formorsian airfields but they would have done a lot more good being sent to Mindoro than lined 2/n

up wing to wing for 8 hours while the weather cleared.

FDR was extremely sick. Truman not know about nuclear weapon research. Europe might have been lost to Soviet Union without Marshall Plan
