The first attacks against mainland Japan
After the Doolittle raids
Text by By Lt. Col. Gary Gray (Thanks)

"On 7 December 1941, aircraft from the Japanese Imperial Navy attacked our Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and America was suddenly thrust Into a World War against the forces of fascism and tyranny. We were not caught unprepared. Many pioneer Air Force leaders had watched developments in Europe since the war had started in Poland in September 1939. They studied tactics and strategies to prepare their Air Force for its inevitable meeting with its manifest destiny - strategic warfare. All agreed that to win the war would require a new strategic weapon - the very long-range bomber - which could carry the war to the heart of the enemy destroying his war-making capability at his very soul."
