lol no.

The Pacific war is my favorite era from history. There probably isn't a book that's been printed in the last 30 years from the Pacific war that I haven't read (and most of them still occupy my book shelf).

I admire your interest in the Pacific and I'm fascinated as well. I have family on both my mother and father's side who fought in the Pacific.

Just a hypothetical...had the radar operators that mistook the Japanese strike force at Pearl Harbor for a bunch of incoming B17's somehow sounded a warning would the war have turned out differently? Fifteen minutes warning....would it have changed history?I always thought Wake should have been abandoned and maybe even Guam.

Mac Arthur having his planes dispersed at Clark Field and other Philippine Air Bases and many in the air..the food and ammo not sent to the beachheads....it makes me wonder what if. But I have always been an alternate history fan.
