Forecasts for 1942 war developments by Simms
Reprinted editorial forecasts from William Philip Simms on 1942 war outcomes. He predicts Japan's bid for sea and air command west and south of Hawaii, toward the Philippines and Dutch East Indies, and a British counter from North Africa to Suez. Germany aims at the Middle East, possibly a pincer on Suez, while Italy may exit the war. A grand anti Axis alliance is expected with lend lease fading and large US contribution. Soviet Russia may shift toward Japan, American bombers threaten Japan, and the Burma Road cleanups unlock Asia Pacific air front. The piece cautions these are forecasts, not certainties.
