First, the characters like Aki and Danny never existed, as stated by the author and i quote”the books i wrote are based off of historical events but my characters are fictional” Next, they used about 20 different jets and bombers like,b-18s,a-34 dive bombers,T.I.T.A.N.S,ext. last, there was actually a german U boat found but it was found 42 years earlier in 1899. That is the 3 reasons that we found that support why this book is historical fiction.
Overall i found that the book i survived the attack on pearl harbor is actually historical fiction. Laurin tarshish did a good job of explaining what actually happened on that day but did not give an actual story on what happened. the book was off about 3 things, the characters were fake, the german U boat was found but 42 years before in 1899, and they were off about the planes used. Now that you heard all of that i challenge you to read this book and tell me what you think is realistic or
