Amazing photos, a lot first time seeing, last time I was in Pearl was in 91 coming home from Desert Storm aboard the USS Ranger and Air Wing 2

Thanks as always, Mark! I haven't seen those two shots of that Val before. I wonder what became of it? Did the US ever capture or assemble a flyable one?

[Pat Carry]

Those are fantastic, Mark. I dont think I have ever seen any of those pics before either.

WOW, great shots!
I'd never seen those shots of the Japanese planes over Ford Island during the attack before now...
Anyone have a clue when they built the bridge to the Island? I finally got there in 2003 and it was there by then, something that surprised me. The Island was mostly just the abandoned airstrip at the time as the museum in those hangars was only a dream then.
I wanna get back there again someday to visit it again.
