The Niihau Incident

This is one display of many of the Niihau Incident in the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum about the Niihau Incident, low resolution picture is attached.

 

For many years I have been aware of the WWII Niihau Incident (a special Hawaiian Island), quoted from Wikipedia and this URL: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau_incident

 

The Japanese pilot then sought and received the assistance of the three residents of Japanese descent on the island in overcoming his captors, finding weapons, and taking several hostages. Eventually, Nishikaichi was killed by Niihauans Benehakaka "Ben" Kanahele and his wife Kealoha "Ella" Kanahele;[1] Ben Kanahele was wounded in the process, and one of Nishikaichi's supporters, Yoshio Harada, committed suicide.
