Initially thought to have been killed by shrapnel from a Japanese bomb on December 7, 1941, this car was actually struck near 802 Judd Street, Alewa Heights (north of Pearl Harbor), by shrapnel from an errant 5-inch anti-aircraft shell fired at Japanese aircraft during the attack. Those killed in the 1937 Packard 120 sedan were shipyard riggers John Adams and his father, Joseph Adams, their uncle, Joseph McCabe, and McCabe's nephew David Kahookele.

All four men had attended 7 a.m. mass that morning along with family members at St. Ann’s Parish in Kāne‘ohe, near where the Adams and McCabe families resided. Like hundreds of others that morning . . . the four riggers were heeding urgent radio advisories to report to their Pearl Harbor work stations at once.

The Padres were not in AAA in 1969, contrary to these tags. On August 1, 1969, the Padres played against the Cubs in Chicago and no outs were made at home plate.

Given this is labeled as "Tracking with the 90", I have reason to believe that this is actually a photo of the 89th Coast Artillery Regiment, Antiaircraft, Military District of Washington, Eastern Defense Command. This unit trained with both the 40mm Bofors and the 90mm AA gun. This was an experiment in using women as defensive gunners.

What a fun fact about women serving during WW2. The picture above though is definitely Camp Davis, as noted in the description WASP were sent there to tow targets for the men who were training - Camp Davis was an important antiaircraft training center during World War II.

Here are some additional photos from the same event that show a little more detail and can be traced to WASP history.
