"THIS IS NO DRILL" The history of NAS Pearl Harbor and the Japanese Attacks
No reviews

by J. Michael Wenger, Robert J. Cressman, and John F. Divirgilio
"This Is No Drill" is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on NAS Pearl Harbor—then one of two naval air stations on the island of O‘ahu. Since the station served as a base for long-range patrol aircraft, the Japanese aimed to put NAS Pearl Harbor out of action to prevent U.S. planes from searching for their carrier force.
The work of these three scholars focuses on descriptions of actions in the air and on the ground at the deepest personal and tactical levels, from both the American and Japanese perspectives, with many of the photos from Japanese sources appearing in print for the first time.
This accumulation of data and information makes possible an intricate story that is unparalleled in its scope. The interwoven narratives of both sides provides the sort of in-depth understanding of the events at NAS Pearl Harbor that would have been impossible to present previously.
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.
