theweaselkingUsing dummy bombs, pyrotechnics and replicas of World War II-era Japanese planes, organizers of an air show plan to re-enact the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
The 13th annual Wheels & Wings Airshow, scheduled for May 20-22 at Millville Airport, will feature a re-enactment featuring about 12 airplanes and soldiers dressed in period uniforms.
The dive bomber and torpedo bomber planes will be provided by the Commemorative Air Force, a Midland, Texas, non-profit group dedicated to restoring World War II aircraft. Explosions on the ground will be timed to coincide with the dropping of dummy bombs.
The planes, which were built for use in the 1970 movie ``Tora, Tora, Tora'' and later donated to the group, will simulate the ones used in the surprise attack on U.S. naval forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
