The one "How Japan Could Attack the US" seems to be eerily accurate to the Japanese plans, but printed in 1937...

The one "How Japan Could Attack the US" seems to be eerily accurate to the Japanese plans, but printed in 1937...

The Navy did a series of War Game attacks of the facilities at Pearl Harbor during the 1930s that showed how vulnerable the facilities were to an air attack. There is no doubt that the Japanese used this data in their planning. The same information could easily have been used in the development of the "How Japan Could Attack the US" map.
