Sunday, December 8 - Pearl Harbor Day - "The Other Pearl Harbor"
Sunday, December 8 - Pearl Harbor Day - "The Other Pearl Harbor"
Although December 7th is remembered as the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, on the same day in 1941 Japanese forces also launched attacks on Guam, Wake Island, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and Thailand.
This year, for a change, we're flying around the island of Luzon, where the Japanese assault on the Philippines opened with air raids on the USAAF bases of Clark Field and Iba Field.
The trip is 465 nautical miles, so bring the extra tank if you think you'll need it.
