Leaving the Philippines wasn’t a “strategy” by MacArthur; he was ordered to leave by Roosevelt. It should also be noted that MacArthur’s handling of the opening phases of the Philippines campaign was sloppy; as I recall, he was caught unprepared by the Japanese invasion, even though by the time it started he had already heard about the raid on Pearl Harbor.

I’m going to go with a guy not on the list, Col. Aaron Bank. This type of mission sounds right up his alley…

@ABWorsham:

Great post Black Fox.

Reading about the air war in the Pacific, if an aircraft was off a few degrees could lead to a watery grave hundreds of miles out in the vast Ocean.

Thanks

Thinking of the Pacific. I knew a guy who was a B-25 waist gunner in the Pacific during WWII. He told me a story where his squadron was sharing the air field with Richard I Bong when he was flying the P-38. At the time their version had the eight .50 cal in the nose. He said those guns we just vicious. However, the high humidity was causing problems with the electrical circuits that controlled the guns. When it got bad enough the moisture would connect the firing circuits and the guns would sometimes start firing by themselves. One day they were getting ready for a mission. Just as they were walking out to the planes, one of the P-38s guns went off. The airplane starting bouncing and spreading lead all over the field. It hit a few other planes and their guns went off too. At this point they now had 5 fully load P-38 with guns just blazing away and planes just started exploding all over the place. He said by the time it was all over, they had 45 planes destroyed on the ground! I’m sure this is just one of many such incidents that added to those mind blowing statistics.

yea, like I’ve got 1,100 bucks…not including the bbs and batteries, ect.

They got all kinds of awsome stuff here, airsoft and even those cap firing. Basicaly there mock shells with a cap on each one, when fired, it gives off smoke, flying catrages, and looks real. But still too expensive for me…that is if someone wanted to loan some money over :wink:
