I'm giving suggestions. There are over 11,000 pages cited in those links. I can email them to you. I'm sure the staff here wouldn't be happy with me posting them. I would say that the posts are rationally organized so you should be able to see if the documents are of interest to you. That's what most people do.

You're spamming links with no context until pressed.
 
There was one 'theory' rolling around claiming that the Japanese Zeros were actually Spitfires painted in Japanes colors flown by British pilots.
Makes more sense than FDR knew about it and let it happen. Letting it happen would have had the same impact on the US public regardless of who prepared the US military was for it. Far better to have them be prepared and look like a hero than look like a sucker while losing a bunch of ships and servicemen.

ETA: I don't think the Brits attacked in disguised planes, I just think the whole FDR let it happen thing is stupid.

Good lord, man. My post was almost 10 years old!
 
are you giving us homework?

maybe give us a summary/take home message before I ask ChatGPT for one.
Just a few thousand of the 12,000 pages of records, etc., I did for the USN, USMC, US Army, etc. My collections get a few million visitors each year. Competes with Project Guttenberg for traffic at UNC.

LIHOP* is popular with the clique that needed more reasons to hate FDR. The fact is that if the Japanese were ambushed on the way into T.H. FDR would have been bullet proof at the polls for 16-20 more years. AND the ships could have been made largely bullet-proof by going to GQ ten minutes before the first bomb was dropped.

*Let It Happen On Purpose.
 
We haven't had any discussion of Pearl Harbor CTs here for ages. There are one or two proponents still around, but they haven't had anything to say in quite a while.
I mean, the last time we had it, it was just one CTer going through fringe resets and presenting the same claim with a new hat.
