Perhaps she assumed that laser guided bombs would be more efficientClosest I got to that was when I was a 3rd grader. I did a book report on "The Sinking of the Bismarck ". The teacher told me airplanes don't carry torpedoes.
Not in 1963.Perhaps she assumed that laser guided bombs would be more efficient
A masterpiece of omission, after all nothing changed at all between 1917 and 1940, as we all know.Great article
Some years ago I started to see this guy series about WWI in the 100th aniversary. Was very worth to saw it.Not just Americans. To someone born in the 1980s or later the Second World War seems about as historic or distant as the Spanish-American War, Battle of Trafalgar or the Varian Disaster.
As for myself, I've just finished ten episodes of probably the best summation of Pearl Harbour I've ever seen.
Can someone explain to me how Japan is 5 1/2 hours time difference from Hawaii?Not just Americans. To someone born in the 1980s or later the Second World War seems about as historic or distant as the Spanish-American War, Battle of Trafalgar or the Varian Disaster.

Time zones are often arbitrarily decided. Look at China, how can the entire country have a single time zone?Can someone explain to me how Japan is 5 1/2 hours time difference from Hawaii?
So, in the docu, the narrator says 5.5 hour diff. but I know that if I call back home in Yamato, my sister will tell me it is 0806 there while it is 1306 here in Hawaii. I simply do not understand where the 1/2 hour comes from, Thanks ADMTime zones are often arbitrarily decided. Look at China, how can the entire country have a single time zone?

Easy, I worked there, you just have a different start and finish time for your life. My grandmother used to have her days work done by 10AM summer or winter as in Germany, if she had a "busy day" in summer she got up at sunrise, which is around 4.30AM. I worked on a 24 hr system most of my life, you get used to anything. Europe ostensibly has pretty similar time zones, but the Germans and Dutch aren't there on Friday afternoons, the Spanish and most French have 2 hours at midday, rural Italy just downs tools for two months when things are being harvested and forget the UK between mid December and early January.Time zones are often arbitrarily decided.

50% of people killed in the Blitz on London were killed by British AA fire, here is the proof, I was banned from Facebook for a month for calling the poster of this an idiot. It is based on research and reports on WW1 in 1938 https://www.historyhit.com/how-thou...killed-by-british-shells-in-the-london-blitz/
It's an odd thing that Japan, believing that carrier warefsre, not battleships was the future of naval dominance chose to target the obsolete battleships of its enemy.Drachinifel has uploaded three videos about Pearl Harbour.
Extremely good account of the salvage operations:-
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
But you don't disable the USN's offensive ability by sinking USS Saratoga (CV-3) and Enterprise (CV-6).They hit the battleships because there weren't any carriers there.
