Research help needed for 07/12/41 mission. - Saburo Sakai - 27.08.2009

I have all the info i need re the naval and aircraft stationed on Oahu at this time, i have all the anchorage positions and i know what types of planes where at what field etc etc etc.

what i really need is some pics of the aircraft on the various fields, how they where lined up to be more precise. this is so i can make this mission as accurate as possible, so if anyone has any pics i would be greatfull if they can scan and upload them.
thanks.


I have done some research - mavyalex - 27.08.2009

Hello,

I have done some research for you. I like doing research especially for WWII data/information and its free :-)

Here is an interesting link about Oahu Defences during 1941-1945. It is not about aircraft but it can be interesting to read and understand what it looked like (impressive coastal defences).

http://books.google.fr/books?id=mp8XyaDD3_IC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_navlinks_s#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Then I found these pictures on various sites, mainly Historical Museums. I don't know if you can use them (copyright).
They all deal with the Pearl Harbor attack. I don't know if they might be useful to you...I can see one plane and I'm not sure on the other one..

Anyway I will spend some more time later.

Good-bye

Check this website out: http://www.airfields-freeman.com/HI/Air ... Oahu_S.htm

If you scroll down a bit there are some nice images of airfields stocked with planes and what not. Hope this is helpful.

EDIT:

Oh and this may be helpful
