Pearl Harbor — United States
The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 — the moment that brought America into WWII — depicted through the experiences of two fighter pilot friends and a Navy nurse.
The Imperial Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 killed 2,403 Americans, wounded 1,178, sank four battleships and destroyed 188 aircraft. Admiral Yamamoto's carrier-based strike force launched from 275 miles north of Oahu. The attack united American opinion for war but failed its strategic objective — the three US Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers were at sea and survived.
