In two devastating waves spanning just over an hour, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes descended upon Pearl Harbor, targeting the American fleet and military installations. The attack resulted in the tragic loss of 2,403 American lives, sinking or severely damaging 20 American warships, including eight battleships and other critical vessels.
