Yesterday was December 7th. I use to watch Pearl Harbor documentaries on the history channel on this date. Some were pretty old, but they had some up to date ones as well. Yesterday, there was nothing but Ancient Aliens on the history channel. They still show JFK assassination shows on November 22nd, but I guess Pearl Harbor isn't as important to them.

Forgot to clarify that when Rocheford/Rochefort cracked the Japanese codes the code stands for AF. Using his photographic memory of a crashed japanese fighter AF was a code used by the Japanese for Midway. Rocheford sent a message to the main office to alert command of an impending attack on Midway but it was dismissed, but thanks to Admiral Nimitz he believed Rocheford but needed proof that an attack was coming so the US sent a fake message that Midway was low on water, The japanese intercepted this transmission and alert command that AF was low on water. There Nimitz has clear confirmation that AF was really Midway atoll and prepared an offensive to counter the Japanese force.
If it were not for our code-breakers, who were mostly musicians, we would all be speaking Japanese, celebrating Baseball, Sushi, Apple Custard Pie & Toyota.

Just flying around, low on fuel, then deciding to look for the carriers hundreds of miles away in that vast ocean. That was so lucky.
