SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Dr. Edward Gordon – Fireball in the Night:  The Fire-Bombing of Japan and the Atomic Bomb Controversy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Edward Gordon – Fireball in the Night: The Fire-Bombing of Japan and the Atomic Bomb Controversy \n\n\nOn April 18\, 1942\, Lieutenant-Colonel James H. Doolittle led a clandestine bombing raid of sixteen B-24 Mitchell bombers that flew from U.S. aircraft carrier Hornet to Tokyo\, a distance of more than 650 miles. The damage inflicted was small\, but it foreshadowed the mighty air raids to come. \nThis program on the bombing of Japan and the dropping of the atom bomb will chronicle the events that made U.S. airpower a decisive factor in the fall of Japan in 1945. \nBiography of Edward E.
