Three US Army P-40 Warhawks and one P-36 took off from Haleiwa Airfield and commenced dog-fighting with enemy aircraft. A flight of US Navy Dive Bombers from the USS Enterprise arrived during the aerial melee, and approximately five of them were shot down by friendly fire (US Ground Fire).

Six B-17's were scheduled to land when the attack started but they were unarmed aircraft because it was a peacetime flight and they were transferring the aircraft to the Island. Radar reported a large wave of aircraft coming in but it was thought that it was the B-17's coming in not an attack of Japanese fighters.
