JaimeH Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 A few weeks ago while playing on the computer I over-heard on the TV (History Channel I believe) a story on how the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in the spring of 1942 with 3 seaplanes. They were blown off course, and attacked the wrong target (they were after fuel depots) and all crashed. The US navy calculated by fuel capacity of the seaplanes where they came from and attacked the base accordingly. Has anyone else heard of this or see the show I wasn't paying enough attention too? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gldank Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I just bumped into your post while burning up some time. Better late than never. Steve Horn is writing a book about this very subject. You may want to talk to him. Here is a link to his post. http://www.pearlharborattacked.com/cgi-bin/IKONBOARDNEW312a/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=11;t=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 We took an island tour around Oahu in July. The Bus Driver (who was excellent) never stopped talking and just full of historical facts. He actually told of this story. Up to that point I had never heard anything about it before.

Dieter3 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 New to me too, though I do believe they flew recon. in Jan. and Feb. to get an idea of the results of the Dec. 7th attack and how things had progressed since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
