I am glad everything seems to be coming together. I only wish I could meet you while you are over here.

Well, obviously I did NOT do this correctly. Okay; first, in case you did not get my message about your trip, I hope to host you and your party for lunch or dinner in San Diego in April. Please contact me for details. (bill@hitekdesidngs.com) As for a question, her goes. . . . Let's assume that the Japanese realized in late '42 that they could not win in the long run without doing something drastic. Perhaps they figured, correctly as I see it, that the only way to do that was to change the course of the war was to badly damage or destroy the few carriers left operational by the U.S. Answer? Kamikazes. Had they stationed several hundred kamikaze aircraft in the various islands bound to be targeted for invasion by the U.S. might they have been able to knocked out Saratoga and U.S.S. Robin in early '43? After all, late in the war, when the American anti-Kamikaze measures were far more effective, the U.S. nearly lost two Essex class ships. What do you think?

Well, I seem to be below par today. My email address is bill@hitekdesigns.com. Must have typed that a thousand times with a mistake. I guess this was the thousand and first time.
