The
American military was well aware that a surprise attack on Hawai'i
was possible and they thought they were prepared. Army fighters
at Wheeler Air Field guarded the sky while bombers at Hickam
Field stood ready to strike an enemy fleet long before it could
reach attack position. Military leaders believed that the greatest
danger was not air attack but saboteurs. To make their aircraft
easier to guard, they were parked wing-tip to wing-tip in the
middle of the airfield. |
