Exhibit Traces Events Before, After '41 Attack-- Part 2: Japanese Ambitions Vs. Island Paradise

The exhibition runs through January 7, 2017, and features artifacts showing Japanese ambitions.  These are contrasted with the Hawaii island paradise of hula girls in photos taken by U.S. servicemen stationed there

Then ,there was the attack involving more than 300 Japanese fighter planes and bombers that killed more than 2,000 Americans and wounded more than 1,000 more.  It destroyed or damaged scores of U.S. ships and planes.

In effect, it almost single-handedly knocked us out of the war in the Pacific in one deft stroke.
