Excuse me???
editThe article states, "In the book Plain Speaking by Merle Miller, President Truman relates that MacArthur delayed getting out of his airplane to welcome him (Truman) by 45 minutes. Contemporary accounts of the conference do not mention this incident."
There's a reason why this incident is not mentioned in contemporary accounts. IT NEVER HAPPENED. According to eyewitnesses who were present, MacArthur arrived at Wake Island twelve hours ahead of Truman and was waiting for him at the airport when his plane landed.67.45.114.29 (talk) 22:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
