Sinking the Rising Sun by William E. Davis On December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighters and bombers launched from the aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shôkaku, and Zuikaku on their fateful mission to attack the American base at Pearl Harbor, plunging the U.S. into World War II. Three and a half years later, all but the Zuikaku had been sunk. In October of 1944, as the Japanese navy steamed toward Leyte in an attempt to thwart General MacArthur’s return, the Zuikaku—the last Japanese carrier to take part in the attack on Pearl Harbor—presented itself as a ripe target for one American pilot, allowing him to personally avenge the treachery of December 7.
We rely solely upon the generosity of people and organizations like you:
American Valor Quarterly is sent to over 35,000 veterans and 200 VA hospitals around the nation, and is a testament to their tremendous stories of valor and sacrifice in defense of liberty. Today, with more and more young Americans uninformed about American history, it is imperative that American Valor Quarterly continue to be made available in our mission to preserve our history. With your help, we will continue to bring our veterans’ stories of valor and sacrifice to the pages of American Valor Quarterly, and to the public at-large.
