December 7th is a first-person historical war story following an American pilot whose life is forever changed by the attack on Pearl Harbor. Awakened by sirens and explosions on a quiet Sunday morning in 1941, the narrator survives the chaos at Hickam Field and the shock of a nation thrust into war. Severely injured but determined to return to the skies, he fights his way back to flight status—only to find himself two years later escorting bombers deep into enemy territory over Europe. From burning airfields in Hawaii to the frozen skies over Germany, December 7th explores the cost of survival, the weight of memory, and the quiet moments between missions when pilots come to understand what war truly demands. It is not a story of glory, but of endurance—of the men who lived, the friends who didn’t, and the moments that never let go.
