He is perhaps best known for leading the first wave of air attacks on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Working under the fleet commander, Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo, Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the aerial attack. After the war ended, Fuchida became a Christian convert and evangelist, traveling in the United States and Europe to tell his story. He later settled in the U.S. (although never taking American citizenship). Some of Fuchida's wartime claims have been challenged as self-serving by historians, including his claimed advocacy for a third wave attack on Pearl Harbor.
