		Fuchida’s friend reported rough treatment but no atrocities; and he told of the strange kindness of an American teenager, Peggy Colby, who helped at the prison camp as a volunteer social worker.

		Fuchida was invited to Pearl Harbor in December 1966, for the observance of the 25th anniversary of the attack.

		Mitsuo was astounded at the scope of what he had just witnessed, which was the initial act of war by Japan upon the United States of America.

		As a postscript, it may be of interest to many readers who follow history that Genda selected his Naval Academy associate Mitsuo Fuchida to be the lead pilot at Pearl Harbor.
		Fuchida's and Genda's career paths crossed often, including at the Naval Staff College in Tokyo, Air Staff positions and, finally, Fuchida's assignment as Senior Fleet Commander of the 1st Air Fleet.
		Over some objections by Genda, who later relented, Fuchida stressed the need for high-level bomber attacks-to get hits on ships whose hulls were protected by double berthing-followed by dive bombing and torpedo attacks.
