They're Killing my Boys is a detailed combat narrative of the 7
December 1941 Japanese attacks on Hickam Field — then one of two
major US Army airfields on the island of O'ahu. Since the field
served as a base for long-range bombers, the Japanese military
desired to put Hickam out of action to prevent U.S. forces from
searching for and attacking their carrier force. Typically,
military historians tend to focus on the destruction sustained by
the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. Although the loss of life
at Hickam Field was less than that sustained by the Pacific Fleet,
the attacks on the former location caused destruction and mayhem
that was disastrous and wrenching. This work describes actions in
the air and on the ground at the deepest practical personal and
tactical level, from both the American and Japanese perspectives.
Such a synthesis is possible only by pursuing every conceivable
source of American documents, reminiscences, interviews, and
photographs. This accumulation of data and information makes
possible an intricate and highly-integrated story that is
unparalleled. The interwoven nature of the narratives of both sides
provides a deep understanding of the events at Hickam Field that
has been impossible to present heretofore.
