The IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) used a variety of aircraft during the attack on Pearl Harbor. To include:
Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (Zeke, or Zero) carrier based fighter/intercepter
Nakjima B5N Type 97 (Kate) and Mitsubishi B5M Type 97 (Mabel) torpedo bombers
Aichi Type 99 (Val) dive bomber
The names in parenthases are the allied designation. In the case of the A6M, and various other fighter aircraft, allied intelligence dubbed them one thing, but they were collectively known as zeros to those individuals that flew against them, because of the distinctive 'Red Dot' insignia on the wings and fuselage, not because of the quality of their pilots (in the early years.

It is called Type 97 Attack Bomber. In Enlish, it is know as Nakajima B5N.
Not so high level and they attacked just some battleships.
Carrier ship was out of the pearl harber, but Roosevelt didn't move. This could be an excuse that America take part in the war.

None of the Japanese high level bombers were used to attack Pearl Harbor, all the aircraft were launched by aircraft carriers which could not launch a high level bomber.

Do you communicate Olbermann to be a extreme point respectable? That article is crammed with innuendo & deceptive rates. there are various people who say Bush has over reacted to the terrorist attack to grant the government greater potential & ought to apply further incidents to income greater potential, yet it is a some distance cry from saying he ought to pretend an apprehension attack! for the period of today time & age, with the tips highway so quickly, there is basically no way all people ought to pull off this variety of stunt despite in the event that they needed to!

I think they were called "Bettys" by our troops. The torpedo planes were called "Kates". And yes Pearl Harbor was attacked by more than Zeros which were fighters. They mainly strafed our airfields.

They did not use high level bombers, but rather carrier based torpedo bombers and dive bombers.
