Pearl Harbor Survivor | Up Close & Personal with the P-40

Welcome to *Up Close & Personal* - a new series where we'll be exploring some of the most legendary military vehicles of WWII and beyond as you've never seen them before. Using 360° 8K video technology, we'll get inside the cockpits of some of these iconic vehicles to help capture the ultimate reference footage for scale modelers and military history enthusiasts alike. In this episode, I'm heading back to the Collings Foundation's *American Heritage Museum* to study the last surviving airworthy military aircraft in the world that was at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on the fateful "Day of Infamy:" December 7th, 1941. We'll learn all about the incredible true story of how this Tomahawk to survived the Imperial Japanese Navy's attack that brought the US into the Second World War, and we'll discover how a wild twist of fate brought this warbird back to flying status after spending nearly 40 years lost on a Hawaiian mountainside.
