Oral History Interview with Joedy Adams, December 5, 2008

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Joedy Adams. The daughter of Naval aviator Joseph Cronin, 12-year-old Adams lived on Kaneohe Naval Air Station in 1941. On 7 December 1941, the drone of Japanese planes shook her family home. When her father left and reported to base, Adams and her mother fled to Honolulu. Their Japanese maid had gone missing earlier that morning; she was later found to be a spy. While Adams was en route to Honolulu, she saw a Japanese plane strafe and kill two men. Eventually, her car came under fire. Arriving safely in Honolulu, Adams had no communication with her father for 10 days, until he finally sent a driver to bring her to Pearl Harbor. As school was temporarily closed, due to the emergency situation, Adams worked in the servicemen’s commissary until she and her mother could fly back to the States. Adams’ father remained at his post and was aboard the USS Missouri (BB-63) during the surrender. By the time he retired from service, he had attained the rank of rear admiral.
