The 1950 incident on Wake Island is a myth. MacArthur was on the ground when Truman landed.
A complicated man, MacArthur. One can admire and loath him at the same time. Perhaps his greatest weakness was a preference for "yes men", who would never contradict him and would tell him what they felt he wanted to hear. He took his "ring" from WWII with him to Korea, which helped lead him into another disaster.
