I took a quick look at the recon problem. Kimmel had a number of basic options using different resources: 1 – 180 degree search to 700nm...
With war going out you'd think Kimmel would have authorized "very realistic training". The PAT WINGS could have trained on searches around T.H....
Kimmel’s failure to scout adequately despite being lavished with ample resources (over 70 PBY’s alone at Oahu on the day of the attack) was...
These questions are largely irrelevant to the assessment of Kimmel's performance. Special intelligence was an added bonus which the lack of in no...
You stated that Halsey was engaging in “hindsight", but the fact is that Halsey at the time took strong measures to ensure the security of his...

My request was clearly worded; please provide several examples of these translation errors whereby the accident caused the US version to become...

If the translation errors were accidental, then to prove that all you have to do is cite a few cases where the translation hitting Hull's desk...
Assuming the document was mistranslated is one of two theories. Toland relates that “Japanese” historians believe the document was deliberately...
