So did the US.... part of FDR's strategy according to some historians, to maneuver the US into the position its held in the world since the end of WW II. Interesting marriage between the US and Great Britain considering that the whole thing cost Great Britain its <<empire>>. That aside... I wonder how much of American piano related industry was gearing up for the war effort in 1940. Never really thought about it.... Cheers RicB Oops, as someone just pointed out Pearl wasn't 1940 but rather 1941, and the 7th not 17th. I don't know what I was thinking I watch the History Channel all the time. I've been tuning WAY too many pianos! Yamaha was probably already manufacturing war hardware by then, Japan knew it was coming. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas NV
