  1. By 1934, the US Gov knew that war was coming, which is why a new bomber was called for. Germany was already building up a war machine, Italy was changing, and Japan had its eyes set upon China. In the book, Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision, by R. Wohlstetter, the US knew that the nation would be attacked by Japan, but they didn't know the target. At the time, they thought the target would be the Philippines. The Ambassador to Japan, Joseph Grew, had forewarned Washington that an attack was imminent, but the target was not known. This attack was even kept secret from the Japanese Embassy in DC, so Japan's own ambassador didn't know when it would come. He was still trying to negotiate when the orders came to destroy their records.
