Sikorsky JRS-1:
This Sikorsky JRS-1 is the only aircraft in the museum collection that was stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Ten JRS-1 amphibians were at the base when the Japanese attacked, and all survived. They were immediately pressed into service and and flew many missions patrolling for Japanese submarines and searching for the enemy fleet. The only armament these airplanes carried were depth charges to attack submarines. |
