Sources say that American intelligence has discovered that Mitsuo Fuchida (picture below) was in charge of the air attack at the Pearl Harbor navy base last week.
Vice President Wallace said that no effort would be spared to bring Fuchida to justice, and that there was no place in the international community for acts such as his.
In a written statement, President Roosevelt expressed sorrow about the dead and vowed to work with other nations to ban planes that could carry dangerous items - "the war on torpedoes will continue", he concluded.
You forgot to add that immediately after making that statement FDR hopped in his wheelchair and went golfing.
Good one, but FDR then needs to send billions in aid to Japan and promote members of the Japanese Brotherhood to critical posts in his administration.
I agree with your intent. But the man you displayed a picture of had a fascinating life story.
Mituso Fuchida did indeed lead part of the air raid on Pearl Harbor. He survived the war. In the months following the end of WWII he became very angry that the Allies were conducting war crime trials out of vengeance - which was a part of the Bushido Code. He then met his navigator who had survived the war in an American POW camp. The navigator told the story of how his American captors treated him well - especially a female nurse whose parents were killed by Japanese troops in Southeast Asia. Fuchida would later meet 1 of the 72 Doolittle raiders in Japan who there proselytizing Christianity. Fuchida became a Christian and toured the world evangelizing Christianity. He even wrote a book, "From Pearl Harbor to Golgotha". In the late 1950s he met Col. Paul Tibbets, pilot of the B-29 "Enola Gay" which dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. Fuchida told Tibbets that he did the right thing because the Japanese people would have fought to the death any invasion of the Japanese home islands.
