I would think two F-15s sitting on the tarmack at HIckham would lend
a certain credibility.

Cheers and all,

I think two F-15's at hickham in 1941 would have been the equivalent of
seeing aliens at roswell.......

Heh, I was thinking the same thing.

Hey, once you've gone winchester in the Beagles, do you thing the jets
could slice a few of the attacking Japanese planes successfully with
midair passes?

Don't think so - and you want those Beagles as intact as you can for as
long as you can. Be a shame to lose half your force to a golden BB by a
determined rear-gunner.

Well if the nukes weren't disallowed you could use a one or two on the
japanese fleet the chase down the the air armada and use one of the
remaining nukes in a airburst close aboard

I may be getting into sensitive areas of the arming system, but it would
sound like a pretty fair navigational challenge to plot the lob-toss
delivery such that it detonates on, or at least in front, or a moving
formation. At what altitude were the Japanese aircraft? Is there a
fusing option for that height?

As long as you get it in front of them, however, even if you don't knock
anything down -- it's very hard for blind pilots to attack or land.

If you drop a bucket o' sunshine on them before they launch, no problem. If
the attack is already airborne they are now without a home plate. Not good
over the Pacific.
