"The Big E" had notified Pearl thatrnthe fighters were en route, but veterans ofrnany service will attest that there's alwaysrnsomeone who doesn't get the word. AsrnLt. (jg) Fritz Hebel led his Grummansrntoward Ford Island, somebody alongrn"battleship row" got nervous. He openedrnfired with a machine gun, and in secondsrnevery other ill-disciplined, trigger-happyrngunner began shooting.
