How can I find ultimate fate of the JNAF aircrews that took part to Pearl Harbour?
 
Hello, I am a devout enthusiast searching for all pilots who attacked Pearl Harbour, I wish I could track down their ultimate fate in order to honour them, not for the infamous act they did, but for their incomparable training and value as fliers. Please help.
Kind Regards .Bogdan

Many squadron leaders survived...as I was on the "Japanese Panel" in the 1991 Pearl Harbor Symposium with two Buntaicho.... Zenji Abe (Akagi D3A second-in-command) and Hirata Matsumura (Hiryu torpedo B5N leader and secon-in-command of the torpedo attack)...Both of whom have passed away in the past few years.

My list of the 765 Japanese participants is in Japanese. Of these, onlly 150 lived thru the war...and about 30 still live.
