An hour later, Joel sat in the big plane’s cabin, while a teenaged Second Lieutenant flew them toward Washington, D.C. Joel shook his head; the kid still has pimples, for crying out loud! But, he seems to know what he’s doing. Joel turned to his fellow officers.

“How did they do it? How did they fly all the way across the Atlantic, bomb New York, and fly back to Germany?” mused Colonel Randolph over the roar of the engines.

“Yeah,” said an Intel guy, “we sure don’t have anything that can fly that far, not even the new B-29. Worse yet, why didn’t we know they were going to do this?”

“And just as bad, why weren’t they seen? Why weren’t they intercepted and shot down?” added Colonel Watkins. He turned to Joel. “Colonel, were there any other aircraft in the vicinity?”

“Only the Navy blimps I mentioned, sir; they were a lot lower, and headed south-east, so they probably wouldn’t have seen the Germans. I’ve flown up there before on a Saturday, sir, and usually the Navy has some F6F Hellcats flying around, but we didn’t see any that day.”

“And you, Sergeant Ledbetter? Did you see any other aircraft?”

“Not a thing, sir. Of course, I was taking photos, but I don’t recall seeing any other airplanes.”

“They flew over Grumman’s plant on Long Island – why didn’t those guys attack them?”

“Because the Germans bombed them first; Grumman took a lot of damage, from what I heard,” said an Intel man.

“Well, there will be hell to pay with the President; and the papers will crucify us. And Congress! They’ll have a field day! The Army and Navy will look like incompetent fools again, just like Pearl Harbor. Maybe Coastal Defense will finally get some funding, as usual, after it’s too late,” Colonel Watkins lamented.
