NNAS Lecture 1St February in the Town Close Auditorium, Norwich Castle Museum
NNAS Lecture 1st February in the Town Close Auditorium, Norwich Castle Museum. Dr Richard Maguire, Senior Lecturer in Public History, School of History, University of East Anglia, on the Cold War Anglia project. Once again the projection equipment let us down so Richard had to begin his lecture without illustrations but gallant efforts by Sophie Cabot eventually enabled the pictures to be shown. His theme was the culture of the Cold War and he gave a brief outline of the early UK weapons programme to combat the threat from Soviet Union bombers and to launch retaliatory attacks. He chose four locations to illustrate its effects on the landscape of East Anglia. (a) RAF Bawburgh nr. Norwich (b) RAF Feltwell (c) RAF Barnham nr. Thetford (d) RAF Orford Ness in Suffolk All of these were highly classified in their time, which means accurate details about them are still sketchy. Bawburgh This was a virgin site. pristine farmland, before it became part of a radar defence network, imposed by Government without being integrated into the local community. It altered centuries of agricultural use and the surrounding landscape. Whereas Bawburgh pre-WWII was in the middle of nowhere now it is adjacent to the A47 and filled in with development. The original station was part of the 1950s Rotor Radar System to modernise the United Kingdom’s radar defences. At one time 40 airforce personnel worked there but little is left except an underground bunker with a bungalow built over the top (a similar example exists at Trimmingham). The main guardhouse bungalow. Feltwell The airfield was part of a network built in the late 1930s with a curved array of hangers, similar in layout to many of the other RAF airfields of the period (for example RAF Marham, RAF Watton and RAF West Raynham). -

The Japanese Village at Dugway Proving Ground: an Unexamined Context to the Firebombing of Japan
Volume 16 | Issue 8 | Number 3 | Article ID 5136 | Apr 15, 2018 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus The Japanese Village at Dugway Proving Ground: An Unexamined Context to the Firebombing of Japan Dylan J. Plung Abstract This paper explores a previously unexamined context to the firebombing of Japan. Analysis of the decisions leading up to construction and military testing conducted in 1943 at the Japanese Village at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah allows important insights into the evolution of US bombing strategy. The shift in US strategy from precision to carpet bombing, the testing and development of incendiary weaponry, and the institutionalization and rationalization of pursuing civilian targets throughout Japan are considered alongside this untold history. Additionally, a broader appreciation of World War II timelines is suggested. Keywords Napalm, firebombing, Dugway Proving Ground, Japanese Village, World War II, precision bombing, civilian bombing, Tokyo air raids. M-69 incendiary tests on Japanese style structures at Dugway Proving Ground. This and all subsequent images are from Standard Oil,Design and Construction of Typical German and Japanese Test Structures at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah, 1943.
