Dramatic Bird's-Eye View of Pearl Harbor

"[Attack on Pearl Harbor]",

This dramatic bird's-eye view depicts the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Matsunosuke Furushima and was issued as a supplement to the publication "King" on March 1, 1942. The text reads "In the early dawn of December 8, 1941, the Japanese Army successfully carried out a surprise operation and, in an instant, destroyed the main force of the U.S. Pacific Command and overwhelmed the world with unprecendentedly great warfare results in the history of world warfare. With gratitude to the Japanese soldiers, this magazine is honored to be able to ask Mr. Furushima to draw an account of this great achievement to be delivered to our readers as a special supplement.” Translation courtesy of the Rumsey reference above. There is only one past sales record (Old World Auctions) and OCLC locates only a single example.
