During the attack on Pearl Harbor 29 of 360 Japanese planes were shot down. Only a few US planes made it in the air, so most Japanese planes were shot down by the sailors on the vessels in the harbor.
The Japanese lost nine aircraft in the first attack wave and twenty in the second.

What did the US Army do to try and prevent having their planes attacked at pearl harbor and why was it a mistake?
In order to prevent sabotage attempts against parked aircraft by local Japanese-Americans, the military authorities lined them up wingtip to wingtip on their airstrips so that they could be easily observed. However, this plan backfired horrendously during the actual Japanese attack, as the lines of planes were easily strafed by Japanese fighters. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese destroyed 188 US planes and heavily damaged 159 more, largely because of these tactics.
