We had a rather unique bombing plan also , never came to fruition but it was seriously tested. Given that It would gave been equally indiscriminate in the heavily wooden Japanese cities its probably just as well it did not happen.I’m not much of a knowledgeable WW history buff but occasionally I’ll watch those History Channel shows. Last night one had a piece on the Japanese Balloon Bombing campaign that I absolutely knew nothing about or ever recall being mentioned - even in light of the many recent recent China Spy Balloons allowed to fly freely across and monitor country by Mr PotatoHead.
The 1944-45 Fu-Go attacks were quite a terroristic maneuver considering not only reaching the Manhattan Project Hanford site WA with explosives, knocked out power lines to the facility, some of these balloons include ones fitted with incendiary devices and dropped to start forest fires.
(Side note - is this old warfare ploy now being exercised today by climate terrorists or foreign entities? e.g. Canadian and US forests fires and the attacks on the Bonneville Power Admin)
On May 5, 1945 one of the thousands of the Japanese balloons released, +300 of which that reached the USA, was discovered and exploded killing 6 civilians on a picnic outing in southwest Oregon.
We had an answer then.
Don’t mess with the U.S. was a big deal once.
We don’t have that respect anymore.
