The Japanese did NOT bomb Pearl Harbor

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.

I'm not kidding.

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.

Boyington's supposed to be flying alone in the middle of China.

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

The prospect of the Germans actually doing that to attack New York scared the hell out of the Allies at the end of the war.

As a pilot, it's always a source of amusement as to what airplanes are passed off as other airplanes in movies.

What the hell was flying at Midway and all those other battles?

This conspiracy is deeper than I thought.

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.

I think they were based on a Russian plane design but certainly not one of ours. They could maneuver the shit out of our aircraft at the time.

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.

It had Ben Afflicted-Upon-Us in it. Plus, when I reached for the DVD in the video store, I burned my hand.
