Description

On the morning of Sunday 7 December 1941 the Japanese launched their infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. Surprise was complete; within a few terrifying minutes, bombs and torpedoes had damaged or destroyed much of the US Pacific Fleet peacefully at anchor, and almost all of the fighters on the ground. But as an Aichi D-3A bomber targets the battleship California, a lone P-40 has managed to get airborne in the chaos to engage the enemy.

Seventy years ago the world stood open-mouthed in shock as it learnt of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. This dramatic new edition is released in tribute to all those that took part in the actions on December 7 1941.

Signatures

Of the thousands of US soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen that witnessed the dreadful spectacle on December 7, just a handful are still with us today. It is therefore a great honor that two of these veterans have personally signed each print, endorsing this dramatic edition.

Both of these veterans we aboard the USS Tennessee, sister ship of the California, and in action on Battleship Row that fateful morning.
