I have been to Hawaii many times on TDY and in the early eighties found the road up Mt. Tantulus where I was told a second Japanese attack via seaplane had dropped 2 bombs on March 4, 1942, less than 3 months after the “Day of Infamy.” This book (after the 71 page prelude to the date) is the story of what few people know of this raid!
The next 30 pages of Chapter 3 provides information of Japanese plans of bombing raids against US CONUS targets by flying boats that had been refueled by submarines. For the confused and inquisitive buffs chapters 3 and 4 represents the title of the book and these individuals will be treated to the entire story. This incident reminds me of the April 1944 Slapton Sands Incident prior to the D-Day Invasion (Overlord) which for many years was cloaked in confusing stories of what really happened. This story brought forth by Steve Horn has similar overtones.
The remainder of this book deals with other events in the Pacific War and page 187 has a brief discussion on Japanese plans and action against the USA and Panama Canal. I was disappointed there was no explanation of the US JP-7 project to protect the canal from bombing.
Although this work is very comprehensive and well written, maps of the areas concerned and photos of the various aircraft would have been welcomed to add to understanding. The glossary of aircraft is very well done and with photographs enhances the book. This book is an easy read which provides new and detailed information about Japanese activities in the Eastern Pacific Ocean in the early parts of WW II. For the seaplane enthusiasts the 53 page Extended Range Section in the Appendix provides information not found elsewhere. I plan to take this book to Hawaii on my next visit.
