No One Avoided Danger
NAS Kaneohe Bay and the Japanese Attack of 7 December 1941 (Pearl Harbor Tactical Studies Series)

ISBN-13: 978-1-61251-924-1, ISBN: 1-61251-924-5

""No One Avoided Danger" is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay, one of two naval air stations on the island of O'ahu.

Moreover, there is an understandable tendency to focus on the massive ..."
