A little while back we started adding images from the World War II War Diaries to Footnote. These diaries provide a day-to-day record of operational activities from the Navy and Marine Corps, and offer an interesting look into some of the major events of World War II.
We’ve already added over 250,000 images of the War Diaries to the site, including the report of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The Pearl Harbor report is 849 pages filled with interesting details:
The first report of approaching planes.
A timeline of the different phases of the attack.
A detailed chronological account of the attack.
A list of damages to each ship.
First hand reports of the events.
Over 250 charts of details like ship movements, gun fire and planes shot down.
In memory of Pearl Harbor, during the month of December, you can look at all the images we have on the site from the World War II War Diaries for free.
