We had to drive it back to Makawao. DeCoite has been collecting historical military artifacts for more than 30 years, and many of the artifacts on display come from his personal collection. Still, items like the arming devices, which still bear their Japanese-language labels and tags, and the torpedo are hard to come by, and this is a rare chance to look at them. Newspaper articles, artists renderings and historical aviation photos will also be on display. The grand opening will begin with a blessing at 4 p.m., followed by an introduction of the exhibit and a session of storytelling.
Admission is free.
The exhibit will be open every day, from noon to 5 p.m., for the next two months, with fresh pineapple to be served every day.
