1. One of the consequences of the Pearl Harbour attack was not so much the surprise but that it wasn’t really a surprise and poor communications played a large part.
   Warnings were dispatched in time but failed to arrive until after the attack was over.
   Although I am now a senior, I can recall when a dial telephone was a novelty. The wooden box on the wall had a hand crank….so did the tractor…and the car….

2. One thousand years from now the civilization will wonder what these are. Something like the ancient Peruvian artifacts that the Greenpeace enviro-wackjobs damaged.

3. While other warnings were received and dismissed as ‘noise anomalies’ in that new technology called RADAR.

4. These markers were visible for at least 10 miles. The commenters from the article confused this with 53,000 feet of altitude. They didn’t seem to know, in those days, flight level 53 was impossible for a normal, un supercharged aircraft. They did not that lack of oxygen would prevent that.
   In those days, there was a pilot, with supercharged aircraft who was able to climb to extremely high altitudes. To do this, he invented the precursor to the modern space suit. His name was Wiley Post. He died in Alaska with a popular humorist, Will rogers.
   By the way, that wasn’t the only beaconed airway in this country.

5. About Pearl Harbor just how much did FDR know in advance of this why were all the aircraft carreirs all out to sea?

6. “……why were all the aircraft carreirs all out to sea?”
   Simple on exercises scheduled many week prior.
   Conclusion: coincidence.

7. Just a guess but I believe the writer meant that one could see the arrow/tower from 10 miles when flying. Without going into the formulas and stuff, at 100 feet above ground the horizon can be seen from 10 miles away (approx). Mileage may vary.

8. We should never have interned the japanses like that but that was becuase of FDR a DEMACRAT
