Eighty years ago, 6-year-old Dorinda Makanaonalani Nicholson sat down to a Sunday morning breakfast at home on Hawaii’s Pan American air base when the walls began to shake.
It was Dec. 7, 1941, and planes were flying low overhead.
She remembers her dad, a civilian, remarking how strange it was for the Army and Navy to engage in practice flights on a Sunday. They ran outside and saw Japanese torpedo bombers skimming the tops of trees along Pearl Harbor.
“I could see the pilots. They were that low and close,” Nicholson, 86, told USA TODAY. “I didn’t know at the time they were torpedo planes.”
