Pearl Harbor

Eyewitness to World War II

President Franklin D. Roosevelt called 7 December 1941 “a date which will live in infamy”. Early that morning hundreds of Japanese fighter planes unexpectedly attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 2,000 Americans were killed and the battleships of the Pacific Fleet lay in ruins. The brutal attack launched the United States into war, a conflict that engulfed the world.
