May I display thisΒ in a journal entry about the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor? That will be tomorrow, the journal entry is simply describing that it is the 75th anniversary and showing some pictures and videos.

I guess the setting of this theme was a couple of months before Pearl Harbor. The observation deck has still haven't been covered with sandbag protection.

This has become one of my favourite works of art that I have come across in some time. The mastery of your artistry tells the story with ease whilst creating a sense of foreboding slowly edging its way into frame. Truly a feast for ones eyes and with each pass you discover something new. Superb.

It was the best version of the infamous Zero. It had armor plating for the pilot, a gas intinguisher, and a more powerful engine. It was developed to counter the the F6F Hellcat.

Very realistic looking, with Akagi's island properly on the port side, not all movie producers have done their homework as well.

In INJ carriers only Akagi and Hiryu had their islands on the port side but it was considered as a failure

It was meant that they would travel side by side and no to interfere with the recovery of the planes at landing, but the pilots not liked it as they got used to one style of landing

I think this happened when the Atomic Bombs were dropped... right? cause clouds like that dont form like that you dont see everyday

I didn't intend to depict a atomic cloud. A extra large cumulonimbus sometimes forms a flat-top shape.
In the first place, IJN Akagi was lost before the Trinity test

oh, hahaha sorry, it was just in my head since I'm like... a "war freak" I hate saying that just because I think of everything around me as war related, which is bad... 
Hope to see more soon! XD

I thank you for many comments.
I have depicted the rising sun flag in this work, but I don't intend to glorify old Japanese militarism.

What's wrong with your old militarism? You had to be an agressive nation in those days.
