The Betty was a land based medium bomber. Only carrier based planes hit Pearl. The only other aircraft it could be would be the Val dive bomber and the Kate torpedo plane. The Val has fixed landing gear, no landing gear are seen in that pic. The Kate has a fairly long wingspan. So I am guessing this is a Zero that just flew over the sub base at Pearl.
I've studied the attack on Pearl Harbor off and on for about 25 years. Some of these pics I have never seen. Appreciate you posting them.
