If they had taken the warning seriously, there would be a lot of P-36's and P-40's in the air taking on the Japanese attacking force. The result: the Japanese would have lost 35-40% of their attacking force, but enough planes would have survived to still potentially cause a lot of damage, but with the AA guns on full alert a lot of Aichi D3A Val and Nakajima B5N Nate attack planes would have been lost trying to press home their attacks.

Good point about getting a bunch of planes up in the air, that would have been huge. I can imagine lots of instances where it would be nice to have 25 minutes warning.
