following this thread and having read Pranges book on Pearl I would think the Japanese knew well beforehand about civil aviation on all the islands. The total number and types, I say this because of the Japanese embassy on the island and they rented airplanes to take pictures of harbor and count the boats there or out at sea. They had to know one airplane with a radio could ruin their whole day.

Rental records for John Rodgers Field were confiscated when Martial Law began and have never been located.

The Waco UIC mentioned in a previous post is now for sale on Platinum Fighters. There's also an article titled "First Planes Down at Pearl" from Aviation History magazine that covers some of the civilian aircraft that were in the air at the time.

Also, for more about surviving aircraft with a certain historical provenance, see the thread on surviving Tuskegee Airman aircraft.
