My secondary school was near the Kai Tak airport where I watched take-off and landings and listened to the roaring of the jets every day. This…

Japanese defeat in the Pacific was a result of a far superior American military and industrial apparatus coupled with the disillusioned home front and ineffectual strategy and planning on Japan’s part.

The picture in the back makes the Japanese look like a greedy, mad, ugly, calculative, and…
