During the opening of Japanese invasion of Hawaii, the Aloha Tower was used by Japanese navy pilots as a reference point to guide them to their targets in Honolulu Harbor. Although they recognized its significance as an important land mark, it was destroyed by dive bombers during the Japanese landing in order to break American morale. The remains of the tower were left to rot like an open wound until the Americans returned and liberated Hawaii in 1943.
