== Pearl Harbor ==
"the United States had a good radar system that should have been able to predict the attack an hour before it happened"
The United States had a single radar station in Hawaii and it wasn't operational; the crew were still being trained. They DID detect the attack (minutes before it happened - the radar range was only 50 miles or so) but badly trained officers thought it was a returning flight of B-17s.
As a history lesson on WW2 this just doesn't cut it. It is riddled with errors and omissions. --[[User:SamRSC|SamRSC]] 12:25, 18 November 2011 (EST)
