The surviving American aircraft were cut to pieces by the Japanese over the next several days.
Being caught on the ground meant that more crews actually survived.
American Army Air Force crews and command simply were not ready for conflict in Dec 41’ compared to the Japanese that had been fighting the Chinese and Russians.
American Navy aircrews and command were better off but not by much.
The attempt to relieve Wake Island almost resulted in the loss of 2 American carriers.
The Japanese actually captured the American radar set at Iba and it was one of the first clues that they were technologically far behind.
We did NOT lose 2 aircraft carriers trying to relieve Wake Island. The relief effort ordered by Adm Kimmel was canceled by Adm Pye, who replaced Kimmel after Kimmel was relieved of command of the Pacific Fleet. See this excerpt from the USS Enterprise website.

The Enterprise and the Lexington were the 2 carriers in that effort. The Lexington was sunk during the battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942 and the Enterprise completed the war and was used as a target at Bikini Atoll A-bomb tests.
