The Japanese fleet was reported to be in either their home port or some in the S. China Sea.........There was no reason to believe they were headed for the Hawaiian Islands..........

No reason? Why then did Gen Short on Nov 28 place US Army forces in Hawaii on alert?

Any observation by your alleged float planes would have been too late, they would have been shot down by the Japanese and the subsequent attack would have succeeded anyway.....

If you understood the capabilities and uses of float planes, radio, or even submarines, you wouldn't have written that.

And if you would have taken the time to read the synopsis of Pearl Harbor that I posted, you would have kept your comment to yourself.

Now do yourself a favor, read it..........Sheesh!

Kudos to you tho fso301, it's good to know we have scholars such as you on this site who have more knowledge about military history than the professionals who have actually studied and written about it.............LOL!

So when is YOUR book on Pearl Harbor coming out? Inquiring minds want to know.....
