  1. ​ @richardbennett1856  Midway is already pretty full of airplanes. As I recall they do have B-26's in their first real action. Sending b-17s would be kind of a stretch. And high-level bombing doesn't work on ships very well.

  9. The Navy already had PBY's for search purposes. Midway is already pretty crowded. Not sure there's room for b-17s? Although the Army did send the first b-26's.

  10. How do you reach Indochina undetected? And what are they supposed to do there? There is zero logistics and no fuel.
