This photo was taken from an aircraft flying over the Waipi'o Peninsula looking southwest over Middle Loch, Ford Island, and Honolulu with Diamond Head in the extreme distance. The large dark ship in the foreground is the seaplane tender USS Curtiss that, later in the attack, would have a Japanese Aichi D3A ‘Val’ dive-bomber crash onto her decks.
