What was LT. Ted Faulkner’s mission two days before Pearl Harbor? Why did he not see the Japanese approaching?

History

Answer:

It was Dec. 5, 1941, and Lt. Ted S. Faulkner’s mission would be delicate and dangerous: fly his B-24 Liberator thousands of miles from Pearl Harbor, sneak over Japanese-held islands in the South Pacific, and take photographs — without starting a war or getting shot down.

Tensions between Japan and the United States were at the boiling point. The United States suspected that the Japanese were up to something, but it didn’t know what or where. It looked as if an attack could come in the area of the Philippines. Faulkner’s task was to photograph the Japanese buildup around islands east of there.

“It was a rather delicate mission,” Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall said later. If detected, the flight might be seen as a hostile act. But his caution was misplaced. Even as Faulkner’s plane landed in Hawaii to prepare for the mission, the massive Japanese fleet was already closing in.

The attack on Pearl Harbor: Unforgettable photos of the bombing

The would-be mission is detailed in a new blog post by National Archives senior archivist Greg Bradsher. And on the 77th anniversary of the Dec. 7 attack, it is another illustration of how the United States was unprepared and tragically wrong about where the main enemy blow would fall.

Which statements best describe third-party politics since 1860? Select all that apply.
Pepsi [2]

A third party is any party which compites for votes since it has failed to outpoll its two strongest rivals. These political parties rarely win elections because their proportional representations are not used in federal or state elections, only in some municipal elections. In the U.S. electoral politics, a third party could be the Libertarians and Greens, while the most important leading political parties are the Democrats as well as the Republicans.

Third-party politics since 1860 are best described by the following options...

1) The Bull Moose party was formed by a former Republican President and Jane Adams. The Progressive Party or The Bull Moose Party which was created by Roosevelt and his delegates became a third party in the election of 1912.

3) The Reformed party, led by Ross Perot, tried to make a run in the race between George H. Bush and Bill Clinton. The Reform Party was founded in 1995 by Ross Perot who received 18.9% of the popular vote as an independent candidate in the 1992 presidential election.

4) The House of Representatives has no separate place for a third party candidate to sit. The Republican party and Democratic party have dominated American politics in a two-party system since 1856,
