"If you find yourself in a fair fight you just haven't prepared well enough!"
That's now my favorite quote of the week.
And, I suppose it could be said that almost any fight that's "fair" is never won. Somebody usually has an edge, and that's often all it takes. If the Japanese had (1) come back for one more bombing run at Pearl and (2) hadn't had the bad luck to have our carriers out of harm's way that day, I might be eating sushi for dinner tonight. (I say "I" because I gather from your spelling that you're British)
Assuming so, then if weren't for a huge amount of blunders on Germany's part, you might be eating
sauerkraut for din-din tonight. Related article

BTW, I've dog-eared your "avoiding airplanes" vid to finish up later. I liked your attitude in it. I was a bit rushed earlier. We're getting two Collies ready to show at a big dog show this weekend and it was toenail-cutting time.
