Capt. Frank P. Bostrom
Capt. Frank P. Bostrom (center), the officer in charge of the three B-17s on the Royce special mission, piloted one of the 12 B-17s that arrived over Hawaii several months earlier on a flight from the United States just in time for the Japanese attack. With no ammunition on board his B-17, Capt. Bostrom could do little more than try to escape, so he played tag around Oahu with Japanese fighters before he was finally able to land safely on a golf course. (U.S. Air Force photo)
