Summary

1. "They're Killing my Boys is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on Hickam Field--then one of two major Army airfields on the island of Oahu. Since the field served as a base for bombardment aviation, the Japanese desired to put Hickam out of action to prevent U.S. forces from searching for and attacking their carrier force."--
