\n\n“No One Avoided Danger” is a detailed combat narrative of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attacks on NAS Kāneʻohe Bay\, one of two naval air stations on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaii. Partly because of Kaneohe’s location—15 air miles over a mountain range from the main site of that day’s infamou s attack on Pearl Harbor—military historians have largely ignored the st ation’s story. Moreover\, there is an understandable tendency to focus o n the massive destruction sustained by the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attacks on NAS Kaneohe Bay\, however\, were equally destructive and no less disas trous\, notwithstanding the station’s considerable distance from the har bor.
\n\nThe work focuses on descriptions of actions in the air and on the ground at the deepest practical\, personal\, and tactical level\, from both the A merican and Japanese perspectives. Such a synthesis is possible only by pu rsuing every conceivable source of American documents\, reminiscences\, in terviews\, and photographs. Similarly\, the authors sought out Japanese ac counts and photography from the attacks\, many appearing in print for the first time. Information from the Japanese air group and aircraft carrier a ction reports has never before been used.
\n\nOn the American side\, the authors also have researched the Official Military Personnel Files at the National Personnel Records Center and National Archives in St. Louis\, Missouri\, extracting service photographs and details of the military careers of Amer ican officers and men. The authors are among the first historians to be al lowed access to previously unused service records. The authors likewise de lved into the background and personalities of key Japanese participants\, and have translated and incorporated the Japanese aircrew rosters from the attack.
\n\nThis accumulation of data and information makes possible an intricat e and highly integrated story that is unparalleled. The interwoven narrati ves of both sides provide a deeper un derstanding of the events near Kāne‘ohe Bay than any previous history.< /FONT>
