Japanese aerial photograph of Pearl Harbor attack
- Title
- Japanese aerial photograph of Pearl Harbor attack
- Description
- Photograph described as being taken by a Japanese pilot during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. The photograph's description states that the image was sent from Moscow to Washington D.C. by radio. A column of white water, evidently from an explosion, rises near a long row of large warships on the far side of Ford Island, which lies across the center of the picture. A tiny image of a plane, described as a bomber, sails above the island. It is visible just to the right of the column of water. Four other warships lie close to Ford Island at left center. These were described as (left to right): two United States cruisers, one of which is smoking; then the USS Utah, described as lying on her side; then a "special aircraft carrier" smoking from a hit. Smaller ships in the narrow channel left of the island are described as U.S. destroyers. Date approximated.
