Pearl Harbor B-17Es
I have an article about the B-17Es that arrived over Hawaii during the 7 December 1941 Pearl Harbor attacks in the next issue of Aviation History magazine and I thought it might be of interest.
 All eight Fortresses were quickly reassigned to Hawaiian Air Force squadrons and over-painted with the unique multi-colored "Hawaiian Air Depot" camouflage scheme to protect them on the ground. Initially used for patrol work and training, they later served with distinction in the South and Southwest Pacific with the 5th, 11th, 19th and 43rd Bomb Groups. Only one, 41-2433, survived the war.
