        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

        I think Oliver Stone and the Historian from American U are right on the money with their excellent Henry Wallace section in Untold History.

        Fascinating correlations between changes in Oil policy 1944 with replacement of Truman for Henry Wallace. Read up on oil policy 43-44.

        Thanks for sharing. Sadly FDR never got to see the end of that horrible war.

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