I lived on Oahu for many years and I,m having a real problem resolving
where this is..


It's prolly where a ****-ton condos are now sitting.

I can't get past pic 109696.jpg...open cockpit, leather helmets, long
tubular gunsight...hard to imagine being able to actually hit (or even
come near) your target under those conditions.

there is only one spot that has streams/river like that on Oahu and the
shape and the bridges or roads do not match. still trying to figure that
out.

as far as the dive bombing, couple of photos from the LIFE archives..
