‘Ewa Field threatened by development

‘Ewa Field, one of several military installations attacked on December 7, 1941, will be transferred from the U.S. Navy to a subsidiary of El Paso, Texas-based developer Hunt Companies before the end of the month. The U.S. Marine Corps air station was attacked by the Japanese on their way to Pearl Harbor. Quonset huts, bunkers, a dirigible mooring mast and other historic structures exist within the 499 acre site. Historian John Bond hopes that a fifth of the property can be preserved.
