Tangled hangars at Hickam Field reveal the surprise Japanese attack’s devastation. Wheeler Field sustained heavy barracks damage while Hickam received new aircraft and quick Army reconstitution as ships and planes moved in. About 48 planes were targeted at Wheeler, with several downed by American pilots.
An air raid over Schofield Barracks caused limited damage to the base. An anti aircraft shell pierced the roof of an empty barracks, while bombs created craters 12 to 15 feet wide outside the barracks. A bomb fell near the hospital without causing harm and the baseball field now shows cratered, machine gun nest terrain.
Reports say Japanese operations halted by destroyed bridges in southern Luzon and no advance from Aparri in northern Luzon. Manila eyes open-city status after a mid morning air raid on the port by nine Japanese bombers amid black smoke and anti aircraft fire.
Reports describe Japanese landing at Atimonan on Luzon as part of a sixth incursion on the island since December 7. The invasion aims to split Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces and relieve pressure on the north where defenders hold Damortis. Air and sea movements indicate continued hostile activity along Luzon, with damage to a steel bridge near Viajasis and multiple transport vessels sighted off Batangas.
