Wednesday March 16th, 2010 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II Snapshot - The Final Combat Hosted by 68Raptor
Five days after the Nagasaki bomb, on August 14th 1945,Emperor Hirohito signed the peace treaty and surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. Following the surrender, Hirohito ordered the armed forces of Japan to stop all hostilities. However, some elements of the Japanese Navy Air Force chose to ignore this order and continue fighting against the allied forces, triggering a historic dogfight with British carrier-based aircraft above Tokyo bay. This would be the final contested carrier air strike of World War Two...Snapshots are walk on events hosted in the SEA II, and all are welcome. Forums are located Here.
