Helpful Hints
World War II
“A Complete and Devastating Surprise!”
On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes, launched off aircraft carriers,
bombed the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
• Over 2,000 Dead
• 18 naval vessels and 187 aircraft either destroyed or damaged
• No aircraft carriers docked at the time – this would prove to be a
decisive factor throughout the war in the Pacific
A Complete and Devastating Surprise, but was it!
