Nothing let them know. Radar was new and on Pearl that morning in December it was off. My dad told he they always could hear the engine of the plane before they saw it. He said it sounded like a sewing machine. On the Pacific islands spotters were placed so warnings could be radioed on Japanese troop movements.
