	With all this talk about Japanese attacks on the U.S. mainland, I 
have a question for you out in net.land. I heard that there was a second
attack on Pearl Harbor sometime in 1943. If I remember right, two Betty
bombers were outfitted with long range tanks and took off from Kwajalein(sp?).
They made a night attack and dropped their bombs on a hillside near Honolulu.
Does anyone have more info about this raid? With the reduced payload of a long
range strike, they couldn't have inflicted much damage, so what was it's
primary purpose, psychological or recc?
