There are a few ex-Belgian Brewster B339Bs in the background of the pic, near the palm trees. Alas, all these aircraft were destroyed by saboteurs...what a waste!

That eBay description is a bit off: Rasmussen was trying to clear a jam when the A6M passed ahead of him, catching the burst.

I thought those were P40's at Pearl Harbour?

I thought those were P40's at Pearl Harbour?

A mix of P-40s and P-36s were able to get airborne that morning.

P-40B - Lt. Welch
P-40B - Lt. Taylor
P-36A - Lt. Rasmussen
P-36A - Lt. Sanders
P-36A - Lt. Sterling Jr. (KIA)
P-36A - Brown

Aviation History had a very detailed description of the aerial combat at PH in its Dec 2021 issue.

I thought it was only two P40's.
That's what I've always heard.
Interesting what one discovers.

You forgot Lt. Thacker - P-36A.

 

[GrauGeist]

You forgot Lt. Thacker - P-36A.

Oops, so I did, thanks for the catch.

One thing that chafes me, is many sites omit Sterling's aerial victory before he was shot down. He survived ditching his Hawk, but drowned in the surf before help could reach him.
