I visited with a distant cousin's family in Hawaii in 1983. He was in the Air Force stationed on Oahu. One of the interesting things they told me is how there is a row every time someone suggests refinishing the outsides of the Pearl Harbor era buildings. As of 1983 they still had the bullet impact scars in the Schofield Barracks and several other buildings from the Japanese straffing runs. Has there been any preservation efforts along those lines in Britain?
