Mitsuo Fuchida (3 December 1902 - 30 May 1976) was a Captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service and a combat pilot before and during World War II. He is perhaps best known for leading the first wave attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack, working under the command of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. Fuchida served with distinction until the Battle of Midway in June 1942, after which he was transferred to a staff position for the rest of the war.
