Based on Ford ISland on Decmeber 7th was Utlity Squadrons VJ-1 and VJ-2. VJ-1 comprised of various models of J2F's and JRS-1 flying boats.

VJ-2 had various models of J2F's and 4 PBY-1's(two were at Johnson Island). Several utility planes did get airborne during the attack! :shock:

Here is one such instant:

During the Japanese attack VJ-1 got a JRS airborne loaded with Marines with rifles aboard for firepower. They ran into a stray Japanese aircraft but somehow managed to evade it. Luckily they didn't find the Japanese Fleet. :lol:

There is one surviving JRS that was with VJ-1 at Ford Island on December 7th. Here she is. Isn't that amazing!
