I don't remember reading that any airmen were taken captive but one of the mini subs was captured on a neighboring island. There is a picture showing the men who piloted the subs in and around Pearl Harbor - all of those men are pictured except the man taken captive. He dishonored the Japanese therefore he lost his position in Japanese history.
There were no downed Japanese pilots that survived during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
No. There were only bombs not a land invasion.
The Japanese attack force lost 55 airmen, nine submariners and one submariner was taken prisoner.

The airmen knew their targets. They had to study them.
29 airplanes and 5 mini-subs: 29 airmen and 10 sub crewmen. If the planes were torpedo/dive bombers they had 3 airmen per plane.
29 Japanese airplanes were downed, and 5 mini-subs were lost.

P.O.W stands for Prisoner of War. They were soldiers or airmen who were captured or surrendered.

Japanese Naval Air Forces (Naval Airmen), launched from aircraft carriers.

Less than a 1,000 Japanese Naval Airmen flew the attack planes.

There were NO Japanese Soldiers involved with the attack. The attack was conducted by Japanese AIRCREWMEN. Soldiers fight on the ground. Airmen fight in the sky. Sailors fight on the sea. Marines are NAVAL INFANTRY.
353 Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. They came in two waves from the Japanese aircraft carriers. Very few were shot down despite the firings from the ships and by the pilots who were able to get into the air to fight them off. The list below shows you how few were shot down on 12-7-41. The human losses listed here are Japanese losses.4 midget submarines sunk and two have been found since that day1 midget submarine ran aground27 aircraft destroyed,55 airmen killed9 submariners killed1 submariner captured
Most US Soldierss were not captured. Those circumstances were usually reserved for US Airmen who had been shot down over North Vietnam. Torture may have occurred to those downed airmen, whose status was POW (Prisoner of War). Refer to books and websites concerning POWs in the Vietnam War.
Had to find them first. That's one of the reasons carriers are great weapons; they can move.
