Hand-drawn Japanese battle map titled “Estimated Damage Report Against Surface Ships on the Air Attack of Pearl Harbor,” created by Commander Mitsuo Fuchida (1902/1976) to summarize the results of the Dec 7, 1941 attack and later used to brief Emperor Hirohito on December 26, 1941. Fuchida piloted a Nakajima B5N torpedo bomber during the first wave of attack.

The Japanese initially refused to accept surrender until they received orders from Saigon. 76,000 surrendered, 300 committed suicide rather than accept, and another 200 joined communist guerrillas.

I don't know who the hell it is, but the Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar" looks nice. And colorized! circa 1942.
