Aircraft under the control of Captain Raymond Swenson was one of the men at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack. He took off from an airfield in California the previous evening.

The plane began to decline and only the pilots saw a battle unfolded on the ground. And at a height of 600 feet (200m) the aircraft was attacked by a couple of Japanese fighters “Zero.” Aft gunner was wounded in the leg, the fire started, but the captain managed to hold on to the runway.
