INTRODUCTION
BOMBED!
BOMBED! 8:00 in the morning.
Unknown attacker
so far! Pearl Harbor in flames! wrote seventeen-year-old
Ginger in her diary. The morning of December 7, 1941, had
begun quietly, like most Sundays on the island of Oahu,
Hawaii. But at 7:55 a.m., all normal activities stopped. Thats
when a Japanese dive-bomber arrived at the US military
base at Pearl Harbor. It dropped a bomb on the battleship
USS Arizona and flew up and away as quickly as it had
rushed in. Pearl Harbor was under siege.

The next two hours brought a steady stream of 353
Japanese planes bombing and raining gunfire on the
island. Japans attack force also included more than
sixty sea vessels such as submarines, destroyers, and
battleships.
This terrifying attack killed more than twenty-four
hundred Americans and wounded another one thousand,
including military personnel and civilians of all ages. It
also damaged or destroyed ships, aircraft, and homes.
The USS Arizona burns and begins to sink
after being bombed on December 7, 1941.
