During the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japanese planes bombed and strafed Hickam Field to prevent U.S. planes from following them back to their aircraft carriers. This photographic reproduction of a map of Hickam Field, by the Joint Committee to investigate Pearl Harbor, was treated in the conservation lab to stabilize it for display at the Congressional Visitors Center. Losses in the emulsion were consolidated and the document was encapsulated and mounted for exhibit.[RG 128, Map of Hickam Field by the Joint Committee to Investigate Pearl Harbor] -- source link
