"Theres a bit more to this story about Lindbergs contributions in WW2 Leading up to Pearl Harbor Charles Lindbergh was loudly anti-war and FDR hated him for it. Roosevelt blocked him from enlisting even as a private and made sure Lindy stayed far away from any battlefield. Meanwhile in the Southwest Pacific MacArthur was desperate. Supplies were scarce and logistics were a nightmare. His Air Corps commander General George Kenney was pulling off miraclespioneering combat airlift long-range missions and jungle airstrips but even he couldnt conjure cargo ships out of thin air.
