Nobuo Fujita

At 0600 on 9 Sep 1942, I-25 surfaced near the border of the states of Oregon and California and launched the E14Y seaplane manned by Warrant Flying officer Fujita and Petty Officer Okuda Shoji and armed with two 160-pound incendiary bombs. One of the bombs was dropped on Wheeler Ridge on Mount Emily in Oregon, starting a small fire ten miles east of Brookings, Oregon. On his first trip in 1962, he presented his family's 400-year-old sword to the city of Brookings as a gesture of reconciliation. texag57
