TORA TORA TORA!

Film on the attack of Pearl Harbor
told from both the Japanese and American sides.

How could an attack on Pearl Harbor have happened?
How did the Japanese race 4000 miles across the Pacific
undetected?

There has been talk in the air that the British
may be planning such attack on America's Eastern seaboard
within our lifetimes.

How might that play out in your mind?
What events could lead to such an air attack?
Perhaps a joint ally wargames gone bad?

What would the British code words be signaling the attack
instead of Tora Tora Tora?

How would the Eastern seaboard be attacked? Perhaps:
"Not 1 if by land or 2 if by sea, but by massive airborne invasion."

"massive airborn invasion" would have to involve every man. woman and child in the UK and even then, they couldn't even hold NYC...

Are you serious? What means of detection did the U.S. military have at that time?

What talk? What are your sources?
