What happens when you take "leading edge technology" into enemy territory unescorted?
It had nothing to do with fortifying the mandated islands, Japan was not fortifying them.
It had nothing to do with her husband being in Fleet Intelligence. ALL New-England Blue-Bloods applied for a Naval Reserve commission in Fleet Intelligence to avoid the one year extra duty they would otherwise have to serve if they sought a career path in the Navy.
The search the Japanese conducted was a joke. The major vessels that supposedly took part in the search all stayed in port, there was no such search taking place.
It had nothing to do with Fred Noonan being moody, depressed and drunk. The best navigator in the world at the time was Fred Noonan, sober. The second best navigator in the world at the time was Fred Noonan, drunk.
It all related to the advanced technology of the plane. Japan wanted it. Lockheed sure wasn't going to sell it to them.
