Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. plane shot down by a Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero (visible overhead) burns in the woods near Ewa, Oahu, Hawaii, during the Pearl Harbor attack, on 7 December 1941. The crashed plane is probably a USS Enterprise (CV-6) Douglas SBD Dauntless flown by Ensign John Vogt or Lieutenant Clarence Dickinson. A Japanese plane crashed in the same location, with its wreckage intermingled with that of the U.S. Navy aircraft. The photo was taken by Staff Sergeant Lee Embree from a U.S. Army 38th Reconnaissance Squadron B-17E that arrived over Oahu during the Japanese attack.
