E-book Pearl Harbor : The Story of the Secret War
AT 7:58 A.M. on Sunday, December 7,1941, a radio warning was broadcast to all ships in Pearl Harbor. "Air raid, Pearl Harbor!" the radio screeched. "This is no drill! This is no drill!" Three minutes before,
Japanese warplanes had come in over the great naval base at Oahu, launching their first torpedoes and dropping their first bombs. Almost at once a second warning was broadcast by the commanderin-chief of the Pacific fleet: "From Cincpac to all ships Hawaii area: Air raid on Pearl Harbor. This is no drill." The Navy radio station at Mare Island Navy Yard, San Francisco, intercepted this message. The country soon knew that it was at war.
