Notes

1. For the purposes of this story, it is assumed that Lieutenant Commander Max Leslie of the Yorktown didn't find the Japanese carriers when Commander McCluskey turned toward Midway Island.

*2. For greater detail of this battle, see Minora Genda, Glorious Victory in the Pacific (Asahi Shibun Press, Tokyo, 1944).

*3. Ibid.

4. John Prados's Combined Fleet Decoded (Random House, 1995) gives excellent detail of this remarkable area of the war.

5. This remarkable weapon was second in secrecy only to the atomic bomb during World War II. The U.S. government only reluctantly shared the technology with Britain in 1944.

*6. The Battle of Guadalcanal deserves much more attention than it has gotten. Coming so soon on the heels of an unbroken succession of Japanese victories, it was the first true recovery of American initiative and the Allies' first step on the road back. Unfortunately, the success of the 1st Marine Division in the Solomons was eclipsed by the momentous events taking place in the East Pacific.

*7. Because of the uniqueness of San Diego's position as the only city in the continental United States to have suffered an attack by enemy forces in World War II, San Diego's War Memorial Museum at Balboa Park has been America's number one tourist attraction ever since.

*8. President MacArthur's Library Foundation was kind enough to allow the author access to the president's staff planning notes for this time period.

*9. Captain C. Gable's account of this battle in Revenge! The Ambush of Japan's Raid on Panama (Silent Service Publishing, Norfolk, Virginia, 1976) gives additional insight into his deployment of his submarines into the path of the Japanese special attack force.
