I just closely watched the documentary Tora! Tora! Tora!
The so-called 'Japanese' planes are really American planes painted and modified to look Japanese.
How did Roosevelt pull off the greatest cover-up of all-time, especially when the evidence is on film for anyone who wants to know the truth.
Can someone who's knowledgeable about history explain that to me?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The Viet Minh used them to carry supplies. Each one could haul 400 pounds over mountains.
The French sure as hell weren't expecting that.

Some jet flying in Southern California ruined the shot and I guess they couldn't afford a second take.

This conspiracy is deeper than I thought.

(10,000 posts)I feel that he would have done a much better job -- ultimately doing away with all of the planes, and sending an army of sword-wielding Samurai -- led by Toshiro Mifune -- to Pearl Harbor, where they would have quickly dispatched Martin Balsam and James Whitmore in a well choreographed and visually stunning fight sequence.

(47,675 posts)They didn't even have that many. Part of the purpose of the attack was to give the impression that the Japanese had far more aircraft than they actually did.
