Sep 9, 1942:
Japanese bomb U.S. mainland
On this day in 1942, a Japanese floatplane drops incendiary bombs
on an Oregon state forest-the first and only air attack on the
U.S. mainland in the war.
Launching from the Japanese sub I-25, Nobuo Fujita piloted his
light aircraft over the state of Oregon and firebombed Mount
Emily, alighting a state forest--and ensuring his place in the
history books as the only man to ever bomb the continental United
States. The president immediately called for a news blackout for
the sake of morale. No long-term damage was done, and Fujita
eventually went home to train navy pilots for the rest of the
war.
73, K.O. and Billie...
...."on the road again".
