Chapter 964： Tiger, tiger, tiger (1/2)

”Huh, what's in the radio?” In Pearl Harbor, a soldier on duty on the shore walked in with a cup of coffee. He saw his audio tape connected to the radio and moved a bit. Suddenly, it was quite strange.

Pressing the switch and putting on the headphones, he listened to the contents of the tape. Suddenly, his face changed. He didn't care about the coffee spilled everywhere, so he quickly picked up the phone.

”Hey, I'm Senior Soldier George, please connect me to the Air Defense Command immediately. There is an emergency.” He shouted to the operator on the phone.

However, for a long time, there were busy tones on the line.

This group of **** officers actually slipped away even a man on duty! Senior soldier George was quite speechless. He could only ran out a few steps and said to his assistant on the basketball court outside: ”Quickly, come answer the radio, I will go to the headquarters immediately.”

There is only one street away from the headquarters, and it only takes a few minutes for him to run over.

However, just a few minutes, it is too late.

In fact, just half an hour ago, a radar station in the northern part of Oahu found an unknown plane 132 nautical miles north of the island. When the radar station reported the unknown aircraft to the Air Defense Command, they believed that the aircraft were B-17 bombers from the Big 6 and ignored them!

After that, the officers on duty in the headquarters went down for breakfast, and none of them remained.

Not far away is the port of Pearl Harbor. In this natural harbor, a large number of warships are docking at this time.

The battleship ”Yali Sauna” is located on the northernmost side of the warship docked in the port. More than a thousand sailors on this warship are still sleeping in the battleship. Only a few sailors are active on the deck, when the sky appears in the distance. When the plane roared, they couldn't help raising their heads and looking into the sky.

What kind of plane is that?

They couldn't help but raised their heads and looked at the sky. They saw the planes in the sky. They were so special. The wings were inverted by seagulls!

”You don't know, right?” said a sailor: ”This kind of aircraft is the latest fighter developed by our Navy, the F-4u pirate. The motivation for this aircraft is 2,000 horsepower!”

Historically, the pirate attack aircraft was developed in 38 years and entered service only in 42 years. Like Stuka, it uses inverted seagull wings. Now, this aircraft has been developed and a small number of aircraft have entered service. .

The sailor, who just happened to know, now proudly introduced to his companion: ”Inverted seagull wings, do you know the advantages?”

He looked at other people and saw that they were all looking towards him. He was even more happy: ”The pirate plane has a large propeller installed on the nose. In order to prevent the propeller from scratching against the aircraft carrier deck during landing, It is necessary to design a longer nose landing gear, but if the landing gear is too long, it will be difficult to retract after takeoff, and the strength is not easy to guarantee, so the designer bent the wing down a certain distance to compensate for the height of the landing gear.

This is definitely professional knowledge, and he only recently learned about it. The admiring gaze of the people around made him very satisfied.

But later, one of his companions said: ”No, why is there a bomb hanging under their belly?”

The airplane in the sky is fast. They first saw the most obvious inverted seagull wing, and then they saw something hanging under the belly.

”That should be the auxiliary fuel tank for the transition.” The sailor continued to show off his knowledge: ”I can guarantee that they definitely flew directly from the mainland. It's amazing!”

”Impossible, a single-seater plane can't fly this far, and it's only morning. Are they going to take off in the early morning?” The companion next to him had already begun to refute him.

This hurt the sailor's self-esteem. He stood up and wanted to reason with his companions. At this moment, another sailor had already shouted loudly: ”No, it's swooping at us!”
