You could hear the change of sound as the bow of the I‐25 broke from the depths, nosed over for its run on the surface. There was a slight breeze blowing and the seas were calm.

The wings and tail were unfolded, and several 176 pound incendiary bombs were attached to the hard points under the wings. The Glen was launched via catapult from a I‐25 class Japanese submarine.

He executed an 180 degree turn and headed back to the Johnson watched in awe as the small floatplane with a red meat ball submarine on the wings flew overhead. There was no air activity, the skies were clear. The plane was not a bomber and there was no way that it could have flown across the Pacific. The small float plane lined up with the surfaced submarine and landed gently on the ocean, then taxied to the sub. Johnson could not understand what was happening.

He grabbed his communications radio and called the Forest Fire This event, which caused no damage, marked the only time Headquarters informing them of what he was watching unfold. during World War II that an enemy plane had dropped bombs on the United States mainland. The bombs tumbled from the small seaplane and impacted the forests, the pilot circled once and spotted fire around the impact What the Japanese didn’t count on was coastal fog, mist and point. heavy doses of rain made the forests so wet they simply would not catch fire. This Memorial Plaque is located in Brookings , Oregon at the site of the 1942 bombing Fifty years later the Japanese pilot, who survived the war, would return to Oregon to help dedicate a historical plaque at the exact spot where his two bombs had impacted. The elderly pilot then donated his ceremonial sword as a gesture of peace and closure of the bombing of Oregon in 1942.

On September 9, 1942 the Japanese I‐25 (submarine) surfaced near Cape Blanco, Oregon, and launched a Yokosuka E14Y “Glen” seaplane piloted by Nubuo Fujita who dropped incendiary bombs on Mount Emily and succeeded in starting multiple forest fires. MT. EMILY BOMBSITE Sixteen miles east of Brookings, Oregon, is the site of the first bombing of the mainland United States by enemy aircraft. Just before dawn on September ninth, 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced twenty‐five miles off Cape Blanco near Port Orford, Oregon. The submarine contained a tiny, modified Zero fighter plane that could be launched by a catapult. Loaded with two 170 pound incendiary bombs, the plane headed south. The bombs were dropped on the slopes of Wheeler Ridge on the sides of Mt Emily with the hope of starting a forest fire that would weaken the war resolve of the United States. Due to wet conditions that fall, the small fire was easily controlled. Today that event and location are commemorated at the Mt. Emily Bombsite Trail, a two mile stretch with redwoods near the beginning and fire‐dependent species such as knobcone pine and manzanita along the whole walk.

Approximately 170,321 acres of National Forest System (NFS) land, 6,746 acres of BLM land and 14,130 acres of private land were affected by this wildfire. Within the fire perimeter, approximately 14,012 acres burned at high soil burn severity, 64,545 acres burned at moderate soil burn severity, 76,613 acres burned at low soil burn severity, and 36,027 remain unburned. On NFS-managed lands, 10,684 acres burned at high soil burn severity, 58,784 acres burned at moderate soil burn severity, 70,201 acres burned at low soil burn severity and 30,642 acres remain unburned or burned at very low soil burn severity (Figure 1). The Chetco Bar fire burned area is characterized as steep, rugged terrain, with highly dissected slopes and narrow drainages. Dominant surficial geology is metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks, peridotite and other igneous rocks. Peridotite has been transformed into serpentine through a process known as serpentinization. This transformation is the result of hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic (high iron and magnesium) rocks.

  • Longley Meadows Fish Habitat Enhancement Project Heritage Resources Specialist Report
    Longley Meadows Fish Habitat Enhancement Project Heritage Resources Specialist Report Prepared By: Reed McDonald Snake River Area Office Archaeologist Bureau of Reclamation June 20, 2019 Heritage Resources Introduction This section discusses the existing conditions and effects of implementation of the Longley Meadows project on cultural resources, also known as heritage resources, which are integral facets of the human environment. The term “cultural resources” encompasses a variety of resource types, including archaeological, historic, ethnographic and traditional sites or places. These sites or places are non- renewable vestiges of our Nation’s heritage, highly valued by Tribes and the public as irreplaceable, many of which are worthy of protection and preservation. Related cultural resource reports and analyses can be found in the Longley Meadows Analysis File. Affected Environment Pre-Contact History The Longley Meadows area of potential effect (APE) for cultural resources lies within the Plateau culture area, which extends from the Cascades to the Rockies, and from the Columbia River into southern Canada (Ames et al. 1998). Most of the archaeological work in the Columbia Plateau has been conducted along the Columbia and Snake Rivers. This section discusses the broad culture history in the Southern Plateau. Much variability exists in the Plateau culture area due to the mountainous terrain and various climatic zones within it. Plateau peoples adapted to these differing ecoregions largely by practicing transhumance, whereby groups followed

She has granted me liberties and opportunities such as no individual enjoys in this world today. She has given me an education befitting kings. She has entrusted me with the responsibilities of the fra nchise. She has permitted me to build a home, to earn a livelihood, to worship, think, speak, and act as I please- as a free man equal to every other man. Although some individuals may discriminate against me, I shall never become bitter or lose faith, for I know such persons are not representative of the majority of the American people. True, I shall do all in my power to discourage such practices, but I shall do it in the American way; above board, in the open, through courts of law, by education, by proving myself to be worthy of equal treatment and consideration. I am firm in my belief that American sportsmanship and attitudes of fair play will judge citizenship and patriotism on the basis of action and achievement, and not on the basis of physical characteristics. Because I believe in America, and I trust she believes in me, and because I have received innumerable benefits from her, I pledge myself to do honor to her at all times and all places; to support her constitution; to obey her laws, to respect her flag; to defend her against all enemies, foreign or domestic, to actively assume my duties and obligations as a citizen, cheer­ fully and without any reservations whatsoever, in the hope that I may become a better American in a great America.

Common Cause: A History of the World War II Home Front Description In excerpts drawn from Musselman Library's Oral History Archive, the World War II years are recalled by dozens of the men and women—adults, teenagers, children—who endured them on the home front. The home front experience was by turns exhilarating, fearsome, depressing, and banal. Some civilians had it relatively easy, while others had it hard. Righteous confidence was offset by looming uncertainty, patriotism was often buttressed by bigotry, and the joys of victory and reunion were shadowed by irreplaceable losses. In this volume, the speech of ordinary citizens in extraordinary times is augmented by abundant illustration, much of it in color—photographs, posters, artifacts, and other evocations of a past that still fascinates us.
