Disaster at Clark Field: Air Raid Philippines 1941 - Episode 603
Unauthorized History of the Pacific War · 1h52m · Jun 09
World War II Air Warfare Leadership & Command

Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall spend nearly two hours dissecting the Clark Field disaster — how MacArthur's air force was caught on the ground nine hours after Pearl Harbor, despite ample warning. The episode methodically traces the chain of failures from Brereton's requests to Sutherland's gatekeeping to MacArthur's paralysis, building a forensic case for command accountability that leaves no excuse standing. Parshall, co-author of Shattered Sword, applies the same evidentiary rigor that made his Midway work essential — stripping away decades of institutional cover to expose the most inexcusable American command failure of December 1941. If you've ever wondered why MacArthur's reputation survived this debacle, this is the episode to queue up.
