No, the USAAF had 100+ modern fighters

Closer to half that number.

100+

25 P-40’s (B and E) each in four fighter squadrons.

18 active planes each, the rest reserve. Plus there were a few extras. Almost all were serviceable on Dec 8.

One squadron of Seversky P-35’s, maybe 20-25 or so flyable.

This all is very well documented.
