David's Story
Life
Aloha nui loa All,
In May 1962, for Mrs. Willis, my history thesis at Carter-Riverside High was on the Pearl Harbor Attack.
When I was statoned in the USAF in Hawaii in 1966-7, I began a deeper study of the Pearl Harbor Attack and the MIA US and Japanese airmen from that day. See "Pearl Harbor Attack" on the internet you will find me.
In Dec 1991, I worked with the Park Ranger curator of the USS Arizona Memorial to set up or assure special 50th Anniversary exhibits, then spoke in the huge symposium on the attack with Zenji Abe, Akagi dive bomb leader; Hirata Matsumura, sec...Expand for more
ond in command of the torpedo attack; and other Japanese veterans.
The largest photo history of the attack is Stan Cohen's Attack on Pearl Harbor... several essays and rosters are mine.
The latest effort is the rewrite of Carl Smith's Pearl Harbor 1941 from Osprey Press released September 2001.
My gray hair may be seen in the current VHS/DVD from Timeless-Video three hour documentary of the Pearl Harbor Attack.
My "sweet young thang" and I finished a nice volume on Weatherford, Texas, that has sold well thru Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
Best Wishes to all,
David Aiken
