“December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy...” are some of the most famous words ever spoken by a United States President and have reverberated on every year on this day for the past eight decades.

On this special bonus, author Bert Kinzey, of Detail and Scale Aviation Publications, joins us to help explain the full significance of the attack and what took place on that fateful Sunday morning. Having conducted extensive research for his book Attack On Pearl Harbor, Japan Awakens a Sleeping Giant, Bert gives detailed examples of all sides of the engagement including the array of forces, scale of the attack, and the short and long term toll on both sides.
