The second attack on Pearl Harbor : Operation K and other Japanese attempts to bomb America in World War II
"In March 1942 the Japanese launched Operation K and attacked Pearl Harbor for a second time. The operation was the longest shore-based bombing mission of the war. It lasted nearly thirty-six hours and covered more than 4,750 miles. Two Kawanashi H8K "Emily" flying boats carried out the operation, taking off from the Marshall Islands and using submarines to refuel. Because dense cloud cover over Pearl Harbor obscured the targets, their bombs did no damage, but the attack did have an effect on the American defense posture."
