• Sommario/riassunto: The true story of the lead pilot of the Pearl Harbor attack and his conversion to Christianity."As I looked across at my companion, I marveled afresh at the goodness of God-this man was my enemy; now he is my brother! Such is the miracle of the grace of God."-Rev. Elmer Sachs, Director of Sky Pilots International.These words were written of Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the first wave of the air attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 as a Captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. After the war, Fuchida was introduced to the gospel through the testimony of Jacob DeShazer. He began reading the Bible and eleven years after Pearl Harbor, he became a Christian.Fuchida spoke boldly of his conversion in his native Japan, and a few years later, he was recruited by Rev. Elmer Sachs to join Sky Pilots International. He came to the United States where he had the opportunity to share his story across the country. From Pearl Harbor to Calvary is the story of ; Mitsuo Fuchida's conversion and ministry in his own words. Central to his narrative is the message that God works through even the most improbable of circumstances to further the gospel.
