We were living in Hawaii in Wiapahu which overlooks Pearl Harbor back when they were filming the movie Tora Tora Tora. We could sit on our porch and watch the Zeros flying over, and see the explosions. It was cool. It struck me back then that it was cool to see the filming, and KNOW for a fact the zeros were flown by the American pilots, and they had no real bombs or bullets. I can't even imagine the terror of the civilians and military personnel with zeros strafing and bombing anything that moved.
My dad was an Air Force officer and worked at PACAF headquarters. They still have bullet holes in the front of the building, and Americans were killed in that building, and all over the islands, not just Pearl Harbor. The holes are left just to remind anyone going in to the building, we were attacked once because we are not really watching and we were not ready. We learned a hard lesson.
