Download The Battle of Wake Island: The History of the Japanese Invasion Launched in Conjunction with the Attack on Pearl Harbor AudioBook Free
All Americans are familiar with the "day that will stay in infamy". At 9:30 a.m. on Weekend, Dec 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced foot of the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It turned out smashed by aircraft launched by the service providers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or terribly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2000 Americans lay useless. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating ugly have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In under an hour . 5 the Japanese had almost destroyed America's entire naval existence in the Pacific, but one of the areas of the war most forgotten is the fact that the Japanese simultaneously launched concerted attacks against American targets elsewhere in the Pacific that the same day, including one against the situated near commercial establishments Wake Island.
