Hobby Master 1/48 Air Power Series HA7508 Boeing P-26A Peashooter Wheeler Field, Hawaii, December 1941.
At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
the Boeing P-26 Peashooter had been
removed from front line duty and replaced by the newer Seversky P-35 and
Curtiss P-36A. The P-26
duties were now mechanic training, spare parts and hack flights between
islands.
On December 7, 1941
there were approximately 10 P-26s at Wheeler Field located on the island of Oahu but after the attack six
had been destroyed and one damaged. It is thought that two P-26s got airborne during the raid
but doubt they inflicted any damage.
