Japan Isolated From Asia Mainland Within Month Says Chennault
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault warned at a farewell press conference that Japan would be cut off from the Asiatic continent within a month. American air power based in Okinawa and Manchuria could strike into Manchuria and the Chinese coast, with a port on the China coast opened within five months to save time. He said Japan could not rely on underground factories to train pilots or replace losses, and warned Japan would be unable to sustain its war effort long without access to Manchurian resources.
