Herr Oberst Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 1/3/1944: U.S. Aviator Pappy Boyington becomes the top U.S. ace when he shoots down three Japanese planes, giving him a total of 28 kills - two better than the previous record. 1/2/1942: The Pentagon receives a depressing radio message from the Philippines that says, "Manila, Cavite lost; MacArthur fights on, holding Corregidor." 1/1/1941: Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asks his staff to prepare a feasibility study for an attack on Pearl Harbor. The study is apparently convincing. [ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: Herr Oberst ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
