About 20 planes, 2 from an airbase on the island and the other 18 off the USS Enterprise, which was supposed to be in the harbor on December 7th, but a storm slowed the task force down. Even though there was a storm the sailors were able to get a scouting squadron off the deck heading to Hawaii
360 planes made up the two waves used to attack Pearl Harbor.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor 29 of 360 Japanese planes were shot down. Only a few US planes made it in the air, so most Japanese planes were shot down by the sailors on the vessels in the harbor. The Japanese lost nine aircraft in the first attack wave and twenty in the second.

Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor…
I suppose , the US made the nuclear bomb because of pearl harbor attack and developed its navy , army and airforce upto a great extent.
As a woman commented during the burying of dead Japanese pilots near Pearl Harbor, just after the attack, "...they were some mother's sons."
We joined the war because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The incoming attack was totally unexpected. The defending troops had no time to react.
