Images
and Pictures of the Attack on Pearl
Harbor On
the morning of December 7, 1941, warplanes
took off from the decks of six aircraft
carriers of the Japanese Imperial Navy.
Their mission was to strike a crippling
blow to the United States military forces
stationed at Pearl
Harbor,
Hawaii. With the U.S. fleet out of
commission, the Japanese leaders believed
that they would then be able to seize
lands and resources in East Asia.
Below are
images, pictures, and photographs of the
Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. The
forward magazines of USS Arizona (BB-39)
explode after she was hit by a Japanese
bomb, 7 December 1941. Frame
