    Wiki says that a float plane pilot from USS Maryland was killed during the attack. I can't find any more information on it. I assume a catapult launch off of X turret over Ford Island. He would have never stood a chance. Anyone know more about this?

    Maryland: hit by two bombs; returned to service February 1942. 4 dead (including floatplane pilot shot down).

    Close, Rockland County, just south of Orange and just north of 'Joisy'. Actually I live down near Atlanta now but grew up in Rockland. Camp Shanks was in Rockland and was the biggest demarcation camp on the east coast

    Demarcation? Surely you mean embarkation...

    I know the area fairly well. I grew up in the city (when non-rich people could still afford to) but we got over to Jersey and up the Hudson to the Catskills and the New Paltz area. We sometimes went up the northern end of the Garden State I think it is past Suffern etc.

    Just came across this. Every frame could be a page in a coffee table book.
