| the Wake action demonstrated ex.
plosively to the enemy that a new
air-sea technique has been borr
from increased American strength
That sort of thing is dangerous
nonsense. The action demonstrated
only that the Japs on the morning
of October 5, like the Americans or
the morning of December 7, were
caught entirely off guard. The
American "technique' was nc
different than Japans two years
earlier. We should ask ourselves
whether the same air-sea tech
niques would have worked if we had
applied them to an enemy territory
well prepared and thoroughly on
the alert.
The answer in the writer's
opinion, is definitely in the negative.
Had Jap reconnaissance been on
the job. and had Wake possessed
adequate land-based aviation, the
approaching American naval forces
would have been intercepted long
before they came within shelling
and bombing distance of the is
land-just as in the Battle of Mid
way we intercepted a japanese
naval surface and carrier armada.

unprepared for us, and furthermore
that their aerial forces were made
quate to handle the situation. The
Japs had good reason to be surprised.
Being within bombing distance of
Midway, and having received a taste
of thorough devastation by our
land-based Army bombers seven
times over, they could hardly suspect
that less effective and riskier type
of attack would be brought to bear
against them. From that angle, our
naval commanders deserve credit for
brilliantly utilizing this combination
of circumstances. Incidentally, it is
only proper to suppose that the re-
peated direct air force visits had a

job Of defending the carriers and
the naval escort, with little If any,
thing to spare for other purposes
AS Winston Churchill rightly
pointed out. in connection with the
Salerno battle, carriers that ven-
ture outside the protection of
friendly land-based aerial support,
in the face of strong opposing land
based aviation, must use their en-
tire air complement for self-de-
fense.
The fact that destroyers and
cruisers were able to approach within
shelling distance of Japanese guns
shows that the enemy was entirely

even before they entered the main
Japanese waters. Only If they are
adequately shielded by our own
land-based aviation would they have
a chance to take part at all in the
fighting. However, once we have
Japan within bombing range from
our land bases, there would be no
sense in bringing air power by
carriers.

The Wake episode will undoubted-
ly be used by some people as proof
that direct attack on Japan by
carrier-borne aviation is valid pro-
cedure. Unfortunately it proves
nothing of the sort, and those who
indulge in such ideas are guilty OF
highly dangerous optimism.
Combined forces similar to those
that pummelled Wake, If used
against a well defended objective
like Japan proper, would be fore
doomed to destruction by the en-
