Civil traffic airborne over Pearl Harbour 07/12/1941

I used to be based at an airfield in Central Florida in the 1980s and one of the local characters was well known for allegedly having been airborne over Pearl Harbour during the Japanese attack on the islands in 1941. I never did ask the chap whether this was true and I can no longer remember his name. He was also well known locally for flying a Beech-18 equipped with spray bars which was flown at treetop level at night to suppress the local mosquito population. Can anybody perhaps provide any detail of civil traffic over the islands on the day of the attack?
