Who the heck says that no American pilots got airborne at Pearl Harbor???? It's been common knowledge as far as I know for the last 67 years that a few American fighter pilots did get airborne during the attack and they shot down a few Japanese planes. (not that they necessarily managed quite the sort of extraordinary and impossible aerobatics you see in the film "Peal Harbor" where the fighters do things in some scenes that were aerodynamically impossible, such as flying in a sustained 90 degree bank between some buildings without losing any altitude).
