Damage done to aircraft hangars during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in World War 2. View from inside damaged hangar with broken glass and smoke everywhere from the Japanese attack. Dozens of U.S. sailors running through another cloud of smoke. Ground view of four Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero airplanes flying past the camera in a line. Another Japanese airplane is struck by ground fire and is shown flying almost straight towards the camera, leaving a trail of smoke behind it and firing as it flies by. Final scene is an aerial view of a Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat shown flying in front of a large thunderhead cloud.
A Grumman J2F Duck seaplane (amphibious biplane) is shown flying overhead in a diving run during World War 2. View of fighter airplanes flying from right to left in front of a large mountain. Closeup of U.S. Navy Douglas TBD Devastator torpedo bomber aircraft making a low pass and dropping a Mk XIII torpedo during practice runs. Several views of Mark 13 aerial torpedoes being dropped from aircraft, as seen from a U.S. ship in the Pacific.
Three U.S. Army Air Force B-17 bomber aircraft flying in formation far overhead during World War 2. Camera focuses in on one Flying Fortress, before showing all three banking to the right. B-17 bomber aircraft landing at Hickam Field in Hawaii. Two B-17s with camouflage paint on fuselage taxi on the runway at Hickam Field.
Multiple shots of American F4F Wildcat fighter aircraft at low altitude during or shortly after the bombings on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. One airplane, smoking from its engine, flies directly over the cameraman (possibly a hit Japanese aircraft). U.S. sailors put out the fires that have engulfed aircraft on the ground during the Japanese attack. Many of the airplanes have been totally destroyed.
A U.S. Navy PBY Catalina Seaplane taxis on a runway, with a few American sailors walking and running beside it. The flying boat has the identification 14-P-7 clearly shown on its side. The wreckage of an aircraft is shown, likely damaged in the Japanese bombings on Pearl Harbor, and few dozen American sailors lift a large airplane wing up into the pile of wreckage. A U.S. Douglas SBD Dauntless fighter airplane takes off from an aircraft carrier with two smaller ships in the distance. The SBD Dauntless has the label S2 on its side.
Views of destruction at Pearl Harbor following Japanese attack in World War 2: View across Pearl Harbor, where heavy black smoke is billowing from ships in the distance. An American flag waves closer to the camera. Another similar shot follows, this time with a sailor looking at the camera in the foreground. USS Oklahoma (BB-37) capsized alongside USS Maryland (BB-46). Smoke rising from damaged ships in the harbor is shown, before the camera cuts to looking at black smoke much higher in the sky. A U.S. cruiser is shown leaving the harbor, before more shots of billowing smoke off in the distance. Small boats move from right to left in the harbor. Shot of Pearl Harbor hours or days later, with now black smoke in view. An American flag is once again seen flying in this shot.
