Rest in Peace Brother! Those were very confusing times!!
SAN DIEGO (AP) — An American pilot who dismissed initial reports of what turned out to be the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has died at age 96.
Kermit Tyler was on duty Dec. 7, 1941, when two privates reported a large blip on their radar screen. Tyler famously responded, "Don't worry about it," thinking it was a flight of U.S. B-17 bombers.
Those words haunted Tyler for years, though historian Daniel Martinez says congressional committees and military inquiries that looked into what happened at Pearl Harbor did not find the pilot at fault.
Tyler's daughter, Julie Jones, says her father died Jan. 23 in San Diego after suffering two strokes in the last two years.
