Selection of Headlines from December issues of Mainichi Daily News
Japanese Strike Pearl Harbour
Yesterday morning of Sunday, December the 7th hundereds of brave Japanese pilots took part in a stunningly successful attack on Pearl Harbour, masterminded by Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto. The entire fleet at anchor was decimated by no less than 355 carrier based aircraft, it was also reported that all the American fighters were destroyed on the ground.
An American battleship is in flames during the attack (as seen from this Japanese aircraft).
quote: An exclusive report from the eyes of IJN pilot Mitsuo Fuchida --- As the first squadron followed us into a bombing run, there was a huge explosion near our objective. A deep red flame burst up into the sky, followed by soaring dark smoke. Then white smoke to a height of what looked like 3,000 feet. That must be the magazine! A shock like an earthquake went right through our formation and my aircraft shuddered with the force of it. It was the Arizona going up. |
