The Tora, Tora, Tora team began the first of several attacks. www.toratoratora.com
The narration of the event was dramatic and brought home what our parents experienced when they heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Everyone from the "Kissing Sailor" to the people with the antique jeeps and other military craft, was involved in this drama. Gun fire from all sorts of weapons pointed to the sky, took aim and fired relentlessly at the incoming aircraft.
Zero takes hit
