second conclusion, was that Itaya was making his second attack at the Kaneohe armory. received ground fire,and may have been killed. The zero dived vertically into the ground, exploded, and skidded into a dirt bank.

NOW ITS THE INFORMATION WAR! and its World Wide. Friend's have become enemie's, and enemies have become friend's.

Itaya died in 1944, not over Pearl Harbor.
