Thanks for the interesting article! Just some constructive criticism for the authors:

Who is Saikaijo, as in "Meanwhile, Harada and Saikaijo, now both armed..." Is that a typo?

The transition from a luau in the pilot's honor, to any thought that he should be imprisoned, to Harada going over to the pilot's side, to Harada convincing the leaders to imprison the pilot in Harada's home, is a bit abrupt and confusing.

The above points have all been corrected, and the name "Saikaijo," (apparently a misreading of the Japanese characters in Nishikaichi's name that appeared in Gordon W. Prange's book, Dec. 7 1941: The Day the Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor), no longer appears in the revised article. SBJ00:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
