Pearl Harbor – The Japanese Aircraft at the time of the Attack

Known as the Kido Butai Attack Force, this presentation will focus on the Japanese carrier-based aircraft that participated in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. These included the Aichi “Val” dive bomber, the Nakajima “Kate” torpedo bomber and of course the Mitsubishi “Zero” fighter. This fascinating presentation will provide a behind the scenes view of the strike force that “woke the sleeping giant” in the opening days of WWII.
