" was training a student in an Aeronca I believe and was rattled by the waves of Japanese aircraft flying past."

All the references I can find state it that she was flying an Interstate Cadet and she was an Instructor with Andrew Flying Service at John Rodgers Airport

Just to throw more debate on the fire, I remember reading about the Pearl Harbour Japanese/Civi encounter in an issue of Aviation History magazine a few years ago and I believe the airplane mentioned was a Porterfield Collegiate (I could be wrong though, naturally).

The airplane in Tora definitely isn't an OTW; an OTW is much more spindly looking.
