I doubt that, Wainwright survived the war. As far as I know the IJA never executed a captured flag officer.Commanders who flee alway have parties willing to run them down. FDR had little choice than to rely on his oldest commanders to defend against Japan. What you have managed to accomplish with me is to see me studying him a lot more. At the end, we may both think alike. MacArthur would have been put to death by the Japanese and FDR saved him from extinction.
