Impact marks from first bomb impact
This used to be the site of an aircraft hanger. The first bomb to fall at Pearl Harbor hit the corner of the hanger. Where the dirt is showing (concrete corners blown out) is where the hanger corner used to be. The other marks in the concrete are shrapnel impacts. It doesn't show up well in the photograph, but in person the radial pattern of the shrapnel is very apparent.

Just another angle on the bomb impact. Crazy that after all these years the first bomb impact is still there.
Original bullet holes in aircraft hanger windows
The museum folks on Ford Island are very proud of the fact that their windows are all original... Right down to the bullet holes.
Another window.
