[QUOTE=Kevinugly]I voted 'never can tell'. But with reference to the above, there is an excellent book 'Why the Allies Won' by Richard Overy which attempts to explode the myth that Allied victory in WW2 was inevitable. Includes a section on Midway - an American victory because they happened to have a few bombers attacking successfully at a fortuitous moment.[/QUOTE]
Hi, I shall have to read this. However, I didn't say that Allied victory was inevitable, I said " USN ones [CV] only set the timing of the war, not the result", by which I mean that the US naval victory over Japan was inevitable. I can see no scenario where the US fail to destroy the Japanese merchant marine (having demolished the CV fleet). Ge is an entirely different matter!
