My Uncle, William A, Clark, Jr., was in action at Schofield Barracks on December 7, 1941. He was in Pearl City, on leave, and got back to the field in time for the second wave. He was an anti-aircraft gunner with little ammunition to return fire with. His unit had been given orders, from San Francisco, to store all ammunition underground, two weeks before the Japanese attack. Until the day he died, he believed and said, “ the attack was planned and our Washington leadership, Roosevelt, Marshall and all, knew it was coming THAT DAY!”
Read, “At Dawn We Slept,” it is a strong support of his beliefs.
As my Mother always said, “Roosevelt was a Rotter!”
Cheers Kathy!!!

Good evening, Bat...thanks for sharing your Uncle’s story.
I, too, have heard that possibility.
