Most just assume WW2 vets have all passed on but this is not the case. A veteran 17 yrs old when war ended in 1945 is now in his early 90s and over a thousand still alive with some into their 100s as we speak but with every passing year we lose more and more, just as Civil War veterans whose last survivor died in 1937 (that war began in 1861) we do not know today how long it will be until the last survivor passes.
Many questions still linger in the murky annals of history regarding Pearl Harbor, from did FDR really know of impending attack which is why our 3 aircraft carriers were out of harbor that fateful morning? Or why didn’t Yamamoto, the coward Jap admiral who planned the dastardly sneak attack destroy the fuel depots at Ford Field, a move that would have prevented Battle of Midway a scant 6 months later, almost to the day on June 4th-5th 1942, a battle that arguably was the worst defeat in the history of naval warfare and turned the tide of war in the Pacific.
After Midway, the vaunted but ultimately lame duck Imperial Royal Japanese navy NEVER AGAIN launched offensive actions and was relegated to defensive actions till end of war when battleship USS Missouri (BB63) and named after home state of then US President Harry S Truman (from Independence MO) sailed into Tokyo Bay on 9/2/1945 for official surrender.
