British Double Agent Exposed Pearl Before Japan Did

Almost 79 years ago to the day, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise attack on the naval base in Pearl Harbor, in what would become one of the most significant moments of World War 2. In two dreaded waves that morning, 353 Imperial Japanese planes wreaked havoc, damaging all eight US Navy battleships, 188 US aircraft and killing 2,403 Americans. The horrifying event would spark a declaration of war from the US and the country's official entry into the global conflict.
