The first wave of Japanese aircraft have been brought up on the deck and crews are beginning to warm up their engines. It consists of 83 fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes. Comdr. Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the flight, has just taken off and will watch as the carriers begin turning into the wind.

Launch is just 35 minutes away.
