View Toward Shoreline from PBY Catalina Wing Strut, NAS Kaneohe Bay, Oahu
Viewed past the wing struts of a PBY Catalina, smoke rises over the shoreline at Naval Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Oahu. NAS Kaneohe was struck minutes before the main Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, destroying most of the patrol bombers based there. This image is part of an oral history collection documenting personal recollections of that day. Project: 218038
