Air Power and Pearl Harbor - The stories behind the events This exhibit traces the rise of air power from the predictions of Billy Mitchell in 1924, that Pearl Harbor would be attacked by the Japanese on a Sunday morning to the actual attack on December 7th, 1941. Included in the display are never before seen photos taken from a Japanese bomber that gives visitors to the museum a bird's eye view of the attack. This exhibit was developed around actual WWII artifacts and tells the little known stories around the events of that day.
