The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.
They couldn’t fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.
The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.
Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.
The Brits flew night raids deep into Europe, dropped their payloads and returned home. The Tech definitely DID EXIST.
I do not think you appreciate just how vast the pacific is…
Bruh hawaii to mainland USA is 2400 miles.
britain to cyprus 2300 something.
London to berlin is about 580 miles by air.
🤦
If I were launching an air raid on a flat earth, I’d have the planes fly over the edge and under the earth. They wouldn’t be able to see you coming.
That is some brutal tenacity for those kamikaze pilots to fly all that way just to say “AYYO FUCK THIS SHIP IN PARTICULAR”
I don’t think Kamikaze’s came about until much later in the war. I’m sure a few heavily damaged planes went down taking targets with them though.
It’s a seaplane, dummy.
Round Earth is a lie, and so are aircraft carriers.
I mean, not flying over other countries actually makes sense in this case because we’re talking about military aircraft. Flying those into another country’s airspace could be considered an act of war.
Wait until they see a non-western centric map.
On this map, the west is on the left, not the center /s
of course not they’d be shot down
since there are no missile launchers in the ocean it is perfectly safe
I’ve seen this graphic before, but I thought it was suggested as a joke.
Claim and refuse to elaborate further.
The earth is not flat nor is it round, it’s like Flappy Bird.
Ol Danny boy needs to lay off the pipes for a bit
“South Carolina, USA”… well that’s sadly makes sense. I need to convince my boss to let me be full time remote so I can leave.
