I lived in Hawaii at Wiapahu and that overlooks Pearl Harbor. When they filmed the movie Tora Tora Tora they used real Zeros and flew over the island and set of explosions at Pearl Harbor. We sat on the front porch and watched it. Cool explosions and seeing the Zeros fly overhead. I knew 100% that is was just a movie, but I tried to imagine the terror of those zeros shooting anyone they saw, civilians and service men.
I can't really imagine the terror of that day.
My dad worked at PACAF, on base at Hickam, AFB. That building still has the bullet damage on the facade from the attack. They leave those bullet damage holes to remind anyone that sees them that we were attacked.
