The article was killed by wartime censorship. Surprising that the Times didn't publish it anyway..

One year after the attack, with the harbor still choked with wreckage, Trumbull wrote a 15,000-word, three-part series about the round-the-clock operation. But wartime censorship killed the articles.

They wouldn't today. The articles would be published and the NYT would call for the head of the Navy Secretary for the quagmire in the harbor.

Wait, FDR was a Dem...never mind...

Gee, there really was a time when the Times regarded itself as an American company.

Kudos to all our WW II veterans, we remember them with respect and gratitude for their service.

I was struck by the leanness of the civilians that worked on the recovery. That was a result of the depression years prior.

I was talking to my brother earlier this evening about his thoughts when Pearl was hit. We lived in a little town in western Fresno county and he said that it was a high fog that day and a B25 appeared and nearly hit the water tower near where he was working.

He was about 19 and he and two friends rode the Greyhound bus to the La area from Fresno County to work in the shipyards.They were sent back because they all had a high draft status. He was drafted and they sent him the Army Air Corps where he became a bombardier on a B17. He flew 17 missions over Germany and was shot down on August 14 1944 and spent the rest of the war in Stalag III etc.

In later life I lived next door to a Naval veteran of Pearl and his buddy was killed next to him and it affected him till he died in 1985. His son became a Navy Seal during the Vietnam war and returned home with a wife and child from there...
