After the Pearl Harbor attack as I understand it the next major target was Midway but what if it would have been coastal California? What if before the Doolittle raid the Japanese had went forward with a massive attack against the California coast line how would that have changed the war? Would that have even been feasible at the time? I just figure if there was ever a time for them to be that kind of ambitious after Pearl was it. It just has always struck me that as huge as WW2 is in history I've never seen anything about US shorelines being truly threatened. Closest thing I've seen is Mexico possibly being wooed into joining the Axis and having to defend the border as well but that's it. To me I think that an attack of that kind could have been devastating to US moral at that time if nothing else. Logistically speaking full on ground landing would have been impossible but a mass air attack maybe that could have been pulled off a kind of Battle of Los Angeles?
