On the night of December 7, 1941, after several hours of fruitless searching for the Japanese task force that had bombed Pearl Harbor that morning, six Grumman Wildcat fighters were denied landing back aboard the USS Enterprise due to fear of the ship being spotted if it lit up its flight deck. Ordered to go into Pearl Harbor instead, the planes were mistaken for the enemy when they arrived and were subjected to a hail of "friendly" fire from trigger-happy gunners manning ship and shore artillery in the harbor. Three of the pilots were killed and only one, Ensign Jim Daniels, managed to land his plane unscathed. This is his story.
This is a well written account of the attack on Pearl Harbor and this brave sailor's survival and the fate of his shipmates. Should be required reading for all Americans. Definitely illustrates why that generation is labelled the greatest!!
It was an emotional gift for my parents. They loved it and it meant so much to my Dad who is a Navy veteran. The packaging and certificate was fabulous. It made for very unique memory for them.
The Oahu Island Atlas and Maps was published in 2010. It's out of print from the original publisher. I'm thankful to Pacific Historic Parks for still having some copies in their inventory. I'm giving my brother and sister a map when they come to visit from the mainland.
