7 Dec.
When I lived in Hawaii, when we first got there, waiting to move into Navy housing, we lived in an apartment at the end of Pearl Harbor. Looking out my window I could view Pearl and some decript looking large oil storage tanks. I am grateful that not one Nippon bomb hit those storage tanks, for they contained all the fuel that was used during the Pacific war. If those tanks were hit the U.S. would have had to sue for peace.

I've always found the scale of the war effort home and abroad, and unwavering commitment by the civilian population fascinating. It's a different world.

My source for my information about Nippon bombing the wrong target comes from the book AIRWAR by Edward Jablonski, which I still posses. I read about the battle of Pearl Harbor whiles looking out the window comparing the descriptions and pictures of locations, in the book, as I read. Quite a different world of then and now.
