Photo #: 80-G-413507 Pearl Harbor Attack, 7 December 1941 Chart of Pearl Harbor recovered from a Japanese midget submarine captured after the attack. The chart shows various courses around Ford Island and gives ship locations which do not necessarily correspond to actual 7 December ship positions. Since it presumably came from the midget submarine HA-19, which was unsuccessful in its attempts to enter the harbor, these details probably represent expected ship locations and intended maneuvers by the submarine.

Photo #: 80-G-182245 Japanese Navy Type 97 Carrier Attack Plane (B5N1 "Kate") Takes off from the carrier Akagi during the filming of the motion picture "From Pearl Harbor to Malaya", circa March-April 1942. This scene is frequently used to represent the launch of torpedo planes to attack Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. However the plane is the older B5N1 model, not the B5N2 used for the Hawaii Operation. Its torpedo is an exercise unit (note its dented nose and lack of "air box" aerodynamic fins at the tail).
