  2. Malaya What If

    It's okay, the thread hasn't gotten to discussing Pizza yet, so you have time. Speaking of which, I took my oldest two sons to the National Museum of the US Air Force two weeks ago and stopped afterwards at a Cassano's Pizza King... Dayton Style Pizza is very thin and cut into small bite...

  4. Malaya What If

    I looked up the Bovington Tank Museum website, because I love good military museums. Peeked in their online shop... and discovered that I never knew I needed these until now... https://tankmuseumshop.org/collections/slippers/products/sherman-fury-tank-slippers

  5. Malaya What If

    I think the individuals in question are Japanese citizens, working as expatriates, not immigrants to Malaya.

    I was looking for a picture of a good meal and my stomach got carried away... Bob Evans is decently priced, and decent food. Besides they are Ohio born and bred...

  9. WI: Using Zeppelins to Destroy British Dreadnoughts Before They're Launched

    Surprised no one has mentioned converting a 14in AP shell into an air dropped bomb. Though that does not address Zeppelin payload or accuracy.

  10. Malaya What If

    it also means keeping the Burma Road open to China, which is also a plus. Even if Singapore falls, if the Japanese are delayed enough to where Burma can be defended, then that has important implications for the war in China.

  11. Malaya What If

    So, in other words, the only way American torpedos worked, was if ships crews fixed them, and the only Japanese torpedos worked, was if the crews did not mess them up!

  12. Would it be possible have steam locomotives still being produced into the 1970s in developed countries?

    South Africa and Red China were the last major steam holdouts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retirement_of_steam_locomotives_by_country#:~:text=Today%20only%20a%20few%20privately,(until%202008)%20Banana%20Express. The Chinese were building new steam locomotives into the 80’s.

  13. D Day landings fail or didn't take place

    Operation Overloard was so overplanned that failure is extremely unlikely. The AEF has the plans and equipment to overwhelm the beach defenses. Even at OMAHA, the delay, in the end, was only a matter of hours. The simple fact was the Allies had the ability to shove large amounts of troops and...

  14. Malaya What If

    True, but in case of Hawaii, we are talking about getting a few hours warning of a war overseas. But only 1 hour warning of a submarine attack. Odds are the only changes at Pearl are ships buttoned up and crews on alert looking for subs. Possibly recalling crews from liberty. The only ships...

  15. Malaya What If

    To follow up, If Kimmel hears of war in the Far East, at minimum he is alerting Guam,Wake, Midway, both Task Force 12 (LEXINGTON) and TF 8 (ENTERPRISE), PENSACOLA and her convoy, and any other ships at sea. I assume he will notify his senior commanders. Pull out war plans, and start looking at...

  16. Malaya What If

    The biggest thing, is that if Kimmel is awakened to news about a possible war in the Far East, then he may have have some alert going. He is probably at his headquarters instead of getting ready for a golf game. This means the WARD’s report should be taken more seriously. A sub sighting on a...

  17. What if Edgar Whitehead's United Party won South Rhodesian election of 1962 and thereafter?

    A smooth transition is certainly possible, but difficult. If some variation of the 1979 internal settlement was on offer in the early 60, you could prevent the collapse of the Federation, and more importantly, the UDI and civil war in Southern Rhodesia. It requires compromise and trust, on...

  18. Malaya What If

    One point, you are correct, in that the American public is not going to be interested in propping up colonial empires, but they will be interested in defeating Japan. In OTL Malaya surrendered in February of 1942, Java & Burma in March, Bataan in April, and Corregidor in May. Here while...

  19. AHC: Kill the Fast Food Industry

    The movement for the Interstate Highway system was already well under way with the Interregional Highways report in 1944. Details might change, but you are not going to prevent the creation of a controlled access interstate highway system.

    Assuming the alert message is not sent as a telegram and delivered to General Short and Admiral Kimmel after the attack is over...
