7TH! A commemorative full colour poster originally published
in 1942
The very first air combat fought by American pilots following the surprise
attack upon Pearl Harbor. In less than one hour America struck back in
a war that was to end in total victory. As the assault mounted on the
Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, simultaneously the air base at Wheeler
Field came under heavy attack. Two young USAAF pilots, Kenneth Taylor
and George Walsh, quickly got their P-40 Tomahawks airborne. Winging southwards
towards Ewa Field they ripped into a dozen or more enemy planes attacking
the marine field. Diving into the formation they each downed 'Val' fighter-bombers.
Robert Taylor's painting shows Ken Taylor in his P-40 tomahawk, with George
Walsh in close company, bringing down his second enemy aircraft on December
7, 1941, an Aichi D-3Al ' Val' dive-bomber. In the background palls of
smoke rise from Hangar 6 housing the naval float planes, and the up-turned
battleship Oaklahoma.
