Posts from William T Brooks in thread „Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970)“

In the 1970s my Wife Martha and I spent a Lot of Time in Hawaiian Islands, and we almost bought a House in Kona on the Big Island, and We were there when Duke Passed On in 1979 !

Every time we Visited
"The Arizona"
We Teared Up !!

The Film Tora, Tora, Tora was Just about as Close To The Truth as You Could Get.

Below are some Pictures of The Arizona and The Ships Bells, One that is Back Home in The State Of Arizona !!!

Sounds Like a "Stearman" and that was a W.W. 2 Trainer and had a Big Engine, and I flew them in the Late 1940s !

Did They look like this ?

I was lucky to get to Fly One of the B-17 G Arircraft used in the Film a few years ago in Phoenix. You can go to the Site Below.
