Leaders of World War II, perhaps, included in "The Tunnel Thru the Air?"


My conception of WD Gann's bodies of predictions buried in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" (which I have styled a bit melodramatically "Prophecies" as I now consider prophecies as divine rather than mundane) is that he predicted not only isolated events, he predicted great great periods of events.  I perceive 7 great "prophecies" of which the 6th and 7th Prophecies are detailed in this blog.

The 1st "prophecy" in my thinking is the many inventions that even those who partake of milk recognize; the Tel Talk, the noiseless airplane (stealth technology)....  The second prophecy would be that which is generally cited on page 82 of the period of panic and famine from 1930-33; the first stage of the Great Depression.  The third prophecy is WWII is outlined on page 83 as the period 1940-1944 as being another period of trouble for the nation and the world; the general period of WWII.  But those partaking of milk would be in awe and troubled by a man who knows the future and speaks of it.  So, in my opinion, Mr. Gann gave only those general outlines of the 2nd and 3rd prophecies reserving the details for those strong enough for meat.

With that in mind, I finally addressed seeking some of the details (a very laborious task) by listing the key parties and concepts in the fictional war presented in TTTTA with its reflections in then future WWII.  It goes without saying but I will remind new readers, TTTTA was published in 1927 and WWII began a decade later.

I've gone through every person and participant ("Tokyo J-1" isn't a person but its a prominent enigma so there are some subjects of importance that are listed below) appearing from page 281 (the beginning of the fictional war) until the end.  And then, I've searched for keywords "WWII" and that person's name.  For all but one person (Molly Pitcher) found after page 281 up to page 391 (the end of the fictional war) I found a relation to WWII.  By order of first appearance in TTTTA following page 281:

Page 283 General Pearson - Major General George O. Pearson served in many command infantry positions during WWII and continued his distinguished career following WWII.

Page 281 Captain George Cooper - George W. Cooper, rank at the time of WWII not located but retired as a major in 1962.  Joined the Army Air Corp in 1942 as a WWII glider pilot.

Page 283 General Johnson of the Cavalry - General Leon W. Johnson was a 4 star General and Medal of Honor recipient who served as a Lt Col in the Air Force during WWII.  Obviously, he wasn't associated with the cavalry.

Page 283 Admiral Dawson of the Navy - Admiral Oscar Stanly Dawson was an Indian naval admiral who was educated in the U.K. and served the Indian Navy in the 1944-45 Arakan Campaign during WWII.

Page 283 General Marshal of the Infantry - General George Catlett Marshall was an esteemed American General and statesman celebrated by Winston Churchill as the "organizer of victory" and architect of European recovery according to his "Marshall Plan."

Page 287 "Tokyo J-1" carrying 25 planes having collapsible wings - also spelled a noteworthy "Tokio" (a permissible alternate spelling but noteworthy inconsistency), this remains an enigma to me.  I cannot find a plausible reason for what I consider a purposeful mystery.  Isn't a retractible wing plane an invention of the 1960's or so?

Page 302 Molly Pitcher - Actually a Revolutionary War heroine, not WWII.  I expect Mr. Gann gave Mrs. Pitcher a role consistent with his support of women suffrage.

Page 307 Commander Rooker - Major Robert Lee Rooker served in WWII and Korea but seems otherwise distinguished as a General, etc, and appropriately so; his role on page 307 involved a failure in which his command bombed commercial planes of England and caused their entry into the war.

Page 308 allied enemy - Why did WDG believe England would be our enemy?

Page 325 Colonel Charles Manson - Lt Col Charles H. Older, USAAF, participated in massive air battles over Rangoon, Burma during WWII.  Post WWII, Mr. Older presided as judge over the  prosecution of Charles Manson for mass murder in 1970-71.

Page 325 Allied Enemy -  In contrast, during WWII it was the "Allied Forces" or "Allies."

Page 338 - Question-why in some places do we have Allied Enemy in caps and in others allied enemy?

Page 328 Robert Gordon promoted to Supreme Commander Gordon - I'd long thought the "Supreme Commander" title was a bit pompous but most of TTTTA is a bit over the top in our contemporary informal, laid back culture.  I was surprised to find (although on reflection, I'd known this and forgotten it), President Dwight Eisenhower was the "Supreme Commander of Allied Forces" in WWII.  Reading Wikipedia, the term "Supreme Commander" originated in WWII...  correction Wikipedia, it originated in "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Or more properly, Mr. Gann predicted it.

Page 339 General Nagato - Not found in WWII, except that the flagship of the Japanese fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 was the Nagato.  The Nagato gave the final order to commence the attack on Pearl.  The Nagato was ultimately captured and, post WWII, towed to Easter Islands for study of the effects of atomic bombs on large ships.

Page 345 Captain Morrison - Rear Admiral George Stephen Morrison graduated flight training in 1943 and flew missions in Pacific Theatre for the remainder of WWII.  In 1964 Admiral Morrison was in command of U.S. Naval forces during the Gulf of Tonkin incident wherefrom the limited declaration of war, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, was enacted to enable President Johnson to wage undeclared war in Vietnam.   Recall, the maiden name of Edna Quin-ton...perhaps we rearrange the syllables to Ton-quin.  Admiral Morrison's son was lead singer for The Doors."  I have long considered, based on the above and other facts and circumstances, the "Gulf of Tonkin incident" and related Congressional resolution to be the 4th Prophecy of 7 but have not fully documented the case.

Page 349 December 7, 1931 "surprise attack on Detroit" - Notable in that Pearl Harbor was December 7, 1941 and a surprise attack.  Also interesting, the Pearl Harbor attack commenced at 3:18 a.m. while the fictional Detroit attack began at 3 p.m.; as in the 6th Prophecy, "opposite" times of day, perhaps?  Also, exactly"opposite"  as occurred in the 6th Prophecy, Detroit was a victory for the U.S. where Pearl Harbor (and the WTC tragedy) was a tragic defeat.

Page 360 Surprise attack on New York City intercepted on the Tel Talk -  This is the beginning marker of the attack on the WTC proven in the 6th Prophecy.  The details will not be recounted here but the page on which the tale of the 6th Prophecy begins is noteworthy.

Page 371 "1933 to 1982 would be forth-nine years of jubilee" - This quotation would seem to contradict page 83 which outlines 1940-44 as a period of trouble for the nation and world.  It remains an enigma.  My thoughts are, if Biblical prophecy mechanics work, then it would be impossible for Mr. Gann's calculations on those pages work.  Hence, he goes through the mechanics for illustration and make a purposeful error to maintain the theme of the fictional war.  I have not gone through the calculations as I should but I expect he adopted the "wrong beginning."

*****

I did not list Edna or Walter Kennelworth or Robert Gordon because they were characters in advance of the fictional war.  And because, their names are associated with medieval or other events; the Kenilworth Castle, Sir Robert Gordon First Baronet of Nova Scotia....  I did list Supreme Commander Gordon because the title originated, according to Wikipedia, with WWII.

Except for Molly Pitcher, a Revolutionary War heroine who may have been included to represent participation by women in war, we find a personal relation between each person associated with the fictional war in TTTTA and World War II.  Each of the major military figures presented in the fictional war (generals, admirals, etc.) had their name reflection in the actual World War II.  Wouldn't you think there would be just one person of rank in the fictional war that would not to have participated in World War II and been of that rank or have achieved it later?  Just one?

[Note: before correction this morning, 11/25, I had double counted General Pearson.]

The first 5 persons above plus Col. Charles Manson would be 6 out of 6 were of their rank in TTTTA during WWII or later achieved that rank.  Include the "Supreme Commander" title that originated in WWII for the person in charge of all Allied Forces (Robert Gordon in the fictional war and Dwight Eisenhower in the actual WWII) and you have 7.  Other persons are excluded from the count as their characters are readily identified with the purpose of their appearance (Molly Pitcher is there only to represent women in the military, Captain Rooker only to represent screw ups that cause wars as in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania or the Gulf of Tonkin incident).

Just coincidence?
