Pearl Harbor Day

Three enduring mysteries

1. Why didn't the US see Japanese planes coming on radar?
2. Why did the US Navy ignore the sinking of a Japanese submarine prior to the attack?
3. How did the Japanese fleet get so close to Hawaii without being spotted?

I just finished this book that deals with a kamikaze attack on a gigantic US aircraft carrier in the waning days of WWII. I also wonder how two planes, low and fuel and searching for the US Navy by dumb luck, were able to evade guns and allied spotters.
