Additional Information

At the time of the attack, much of the personnel of the Chatham Naval Air Station were participating in a baseball game off base. The person with the key to the ordnance stores was at the game. Thus the pilots who did take off for the scene carried only practice bombs. 63.108.73.104 (talk) 15:46, 20 July 2011 (UTC) wmapettengill@netscape.net[reply]
