attack with his force of six carriers and 423 aircraft. At a range of 230
miles north of Oahu , he launched the first wave of a two-wave attack.
Beginning at 0600 hours his first wave consisted of 183 fighters and torpedo
bombers which struck at the fleet in Pearl Harbor and the airfields in
Hickam, Kaneoheand Ewa. The second strike, launched at 0715 hours, consisted
of 167 aircraft, which again struck at the same targets.

At 0753 hours the first wave consisting of 40 Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo
bombers, 51 Aichi D3A1 "Val" dive bombers, 50 high altitude bombers and 43
Zeros struck airfields and Pearl Harbor Within the next hour, the second
