Because the clouds have cleared on Sunday morning - December 7, 1941 - every pilot has an unobstructed view as hundreds of Japanese airplanes approach Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
With strike force orders from the high command, and detailed information s...upplied by Takeo Yoshikawa (a Japanese spy at Pearl), pilots know their individual targets. In 110 minutes, the U.S. Pacific Fleet will be horrendously crippled.
At 7:58 a.m., Lt. Commander Logan Ramsey dispatches an urgent message:
Air Raid on Pearl Harbor. This is not Drill.
The Arizona, and most of her crew, have only minutes to live. The ship will burn for three days.
Because the surprise attack is so effective, American resistance doesn't really begin until the second wave of the attack.

On September 1, 1939, the Second World War commenced in Europe when German troops invaded Poland. After the conquest of Poland and its division between Germany and the Soviet Union, Europe settled into the "Phony War." In the spring, Hitler unleashed... a "blitzkrieg" ("lightening war") that swept through Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Taking advantage of the non-aggression pact, Soviet forces defeated Finland and occupied the Baltic States. Winston Churchill succeeded the discredited Neville Chamberlain as prime minister of Great Britain, but he could offer little help to the French who surrendered to Germany on June 22, 1940. The Germans occupied strategically significant portions of France, and Marshal Henri Pétain established a government at the southern city of Vichy that collaborated with the Nazis. This agreement prevented the French Navy from uniting with the British.
