Pearl Harbor:
At 7:02 A.M. on December 7th, the radio operators saw an echo from the radar, which later turned out to be Japanese fighter planes. This time that the radar system was used, was the first time that it had been used in military warfare. Kermit A. Tyler thought that the blip on the radar system was just some of their planes due from the mainland, but they later turned out to be more than 180 Japanese fighter planes.

"Pvt. Joseph Lockard, pictured, and radar partner Pvt. George Elliott spotted the attacking Japanese planes before they reached Pearl Harbor and reported them, but an officer told them to "forget it." This photo was taken Feb. 1, 1942, before Lockard attended Signal Corps officer candidate school."
