Color Home Movie from Eighty Four Years Ago

Early on a Sunday morning Eda and Harold Oberg heard airplanes fly over their Hawaii home. Harold knew what was happening and left for his duty station. B5N2 Kate carrier aircraft flew over their house at 10,000 feet. Eda grabbed their Revere home movie camera and began filming, the only color home movies I’m aware of capturing The Day of Infamy. Thick black smoke arose from the north. Lieutenant Commander Tadashi Kusumi completely destroyed the USS ARIZONA, sinking it in seven minutes. Harold later took the movie camera to the top of the airfield tower and recorded in color Battleship Row, showing smoke billowing from the ARIZONA, WEST VIRGINIA, and CALIFORNIA battleships eighty-four years ago today, 7 December 1941.
