I assume you are referring to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US expected some sort of attack at some time, but there is no evidence that anyone outside the Japanese high command knew where or when it would occur. The base could have had about an hour's warning, but radar was in its infancy and not nearly as sophisticated as modern systems. No one knew the Japanese carriers were within striking distance and when the approaching planes were detected, they were assumed to be a US Squadron returning to Hickham AAFB.
