Less than one hour after the
attack on Pearl Harbor, USAAF 2nd Lt.’s Ken Taylor and George
Welch make an aggressive strike back against the enemy. Taylor,
flying his P-40 Tomahawk, is seen bringing down his second enemy
aircraft, an Aichi D-31A dive-bomber, on the morning of December
7, 1941. Welch is in close as they chase Japanese planes heading
for the open sea. In the background, palls of smoke rise from
Hangar 6 housing the naval float-planes, the battleship Nevada,
beached off Hospital Point, and the up-turned battleship Oklahoma.
