Researchers mark death of Pearl Harbor mastermind Yamamoto

A group from the U.S. and Japan is trekking to a remote Pacific island jungle to document what is considered one of the most important wreck sites of World War II: the place where American fighters shot down a Japanese bomber carrying the mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack.

Three members of a New York-based WWII research organization and a Japanese aviation expert plan to visit the crash site on Bougainville, part of Papua New Guinea, on Wednesday - the 75th anniversary of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's death.

Yamamoto had spent several years in the U.S. earlier in his military career, studying at Harvard University and admiring America's industrial might.

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, he was quite possibly the most hated man in America.

Adm. Yamamoto predicted the fall of Japan to the American industrial war machine. But being a good and faithful servant to his Government, he drew up the best plan that he could and tried his best to inflict as much damage as possible to the US fleet in Pearl Harbor. Litle did he know that the carriers would be further East at the time. Some say that FDR was aware of the imminent attack and allowed it to take place. I suppose that this is a topic of discussion for another day.

The greatest generation. Back when if you messed with America we killed you. Not like today, we negotiate, and hand out cash to those that want to destroy us. Pretty sad.

Hilarious.

The mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack was in Langley.
Wake up folks.

911 was the "new" Pearl Harbor.
Again from Langley.
