WHEELER
ARMY AIRFIELD
Constructed in 1922,
Wheeler Field was the site of several major historic aviation events
prior to December 7, 1941, including the first nonstop Mainland-Hawaii
flight in 1927; the great Dole Derby air race from California to
Hawaii; the first trans-Pacific flight from the U.S. to Australia
in 1928, and the first Hawaii-to-Mainland solo flight in 1935 by
Amelia Earhart.
On December 7th, 1941 the Imperial Japanese
Navy aircraft attacked Wheeler without warning. The main objective
of the enemy was to destroy the Hawaiian Air Force, thus eliminating
any air opposition so they could cripple the U.S. Fleet anchored at
Pearl Harbor. Your guide will give you an analysis of the Army Air
Corp pilots heroic response to the attack while flying against incredible
opposition from the enemy. You'll hear an account of our first two
aces of the war, Lt's Ken Taylor and George Welch.
Wheeler Field was home to the 15th and the 18th Pursuit Groups, flying
P-36's and P-40's. Today it is home to the 25th Infantry Aviation
Brigade. Photograph a P-40 fighter plane used in the movie, "Tora
Tora Tora" and drive along the flightline where Japanese dive-bombers
destroyed and set ablaze hangars while fighters strafed rows of American
aircraft neatly positioned on the airfield.
