Vol 12, Iss 24Oregon - The Day Japan Bombed Oregon (Sept. 1942)
Have you ever heard the WWII story concerning the day that Japan bombed Oregon? Is this for real?
Ellis Raymer submitted this interesting article about the only submarine launched Japanese bombing of the U.S. mainland during WWII. There was a special on PBS a few weeks back concerning that the Japanese had a plan after major naval losses that they planned to build super submarines that carried aircraft and could airlift bombs to a target and return to the sub. Then the planes would be put back into the sub and it would submerge and be hidden for it's next attack. The Japanese had plan to build fleets of these subs, but only three (3) were ever completed.
