About me / Bio:
Genda Minoru was a Japanese naval officer and air strategist who played a key role in the planning and execution of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which brought the United States into World War II. He was also involved in other major naval battles, such as the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. He was an advocate of naval aviation and aircraft carriers, and he opposed the construction of battleships. He was known for his tactical skills and innovative ideas, such as the concept of massed air raids launched from multiple carriers. After the war, he was not tried as a war criminal, but instead he helped to rebuild the Japanese air force and became the third Chief of Staff of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. He also entered politics and served as a member of the House of Councillors for the Liberal Democratic Party from 1962 to 1986. He died of heart failure in 1989, one day before his 85th birthday. He was awarded the US Legion of Merit, the Order of the Sacred Treasure, and the Order of the Rising Sun for his contributions to the development of aviation and the promotion of friendship between Japan and the United States.
