Hypotetical scenario. Japanese landing on Hawaii.| Scenario in dates: |
| November 5, 1934: |
United States - A plane crash occurs during a night landing maneuver at Fort Crockett, Texas. 49-year-old Colonel Horace Hickam, a pioneer airpower advocate and an officer in the United States Army Air Corps, is killed in the wreckage of the Curtiss A-12 Shrike. It will later be designated Hickam Field new flying field near Pearl Harbor base at Honolulu, Hawaii. |
| May 21, 1935: |
Hawaiian Islands - a new flying field at Honolulu, Oahu, near Pearl Harbor, is named Hickam Field in honor of one of the leading builders of the US Air Corps, Colonel Horace Hickam. |
| April 15, 1940: |
In the Pacific ocean - the large scale excercise of the US Pacific fleet is underway. The aim of the simulated operation is to defend the Hawaiian Islands. |
| March 4, 1942: |
Over Hawaii Islands - japanese Operation K, Kawanishi H8K neconnaissance flying boat first saw operational use on the night in a second raid on Pearl Harbor. Since the target lay out of range for the flying boats, this audacious plan involved a refuelling by submarine at French Frigate Shoals, some over 900 km (560 mi) north-west of Hawaii, en route. Two planes attempted to bomb Pearl Harbor, but, due to poor visibility, did not accomplish any significant damage. Althought the operationd oes not end with success, the two bombers return well and complete the longest (8000 km) bomber mission in contemporary history, overtaken by the Falkland War in 1982 (for comparison, the later US air raids on Japan from Marian Islands, Doolittle´s raid on Tokyo or, for example, a pendulum raid to Germany from England across Europe to the USSR, were conducted at about half the distance). During the operation, the Americans tapped a Japanese radio communication in which the Japanese use the AF code to identify the location as a landmark. Because there is no land other than the Midway Atoll in the area, they can pair this code-tagged object, which will later help them to uncover the Japanese intentions from the deciphered messages and gain a major advantage over the Midway battle. |
| May 21, 1944: |
In the United States - The West Loch Disaster occurs in Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The explosion of the ammunition on the LST-353 landing craft inside the stage of ships prepared for the upcoming for Operation Forager, the invasion of the Japanese-held Mariana Islands, leads to chain of explosions and fires that sink six LST vessels, killing 163 and injuring another 400 people. The accident was clasified and the wreckage was quickly cleared, except the LST-480, which wreck remained in Pearl Harbor to the present day. Accient has led to major changes in weapon handling practices within the United States Navy. |
| February 17, 1945: |
Hawaiian Islands - In Pearl Harbor, an accident occurs while salvage works on the wrecks of LST landing crafts after the West Loch disaster (see May 21, 1944). Naval diver Francis P. Hammerberg rescues two men trapped under a collapsing wreck, but dies in the action. He will receive posthumously the Medal of Honor for his courageous deed, the only one for non-combat action during the Second World War and the last ever. |
