Post by: hazed- on October 01, 2002, 11:39:40 PM: I think you'll find it actually was a new(1944) type of japanese bomb.

it was enormous and had a 3 or 4 man suicide crew. dropped from a sea plane the crew would leap out at the last minute with swords.Unfortunately due to the weight the seaplane could hardly get above a few feet off the water, and with that, and the less than satifactory results with the sword blows against the hulls of ships, the project was cancelled.

Post by: brady on October 02, 2002, 01:46:31 AM: Sam , yes This was the plane that bombed Oregon.

I would half to say that about 99% were guesed corectly, it was the exception rather than the rule if one was not guesed corectly. In the 4 potential catagories Planes, ships, guns, tanks, I realy expected Ships to be the least corectly guesed but as it turned out their were no real losers. the Ship catagory generaly had less coments but they almost were always guesed corectly, the ones that were not were simply realy oddbal things, rare picks or unknow weapons.

I am considering adding a fifth catagory to the next series, i will run another series in a little while.

Post by: whgates3 on October 02, 2002, 02:29:44 AM: AFAIK only one of the two sites in OR that were bombed has been discovered. the other - somewhere roughly between Portland and the coast - is yet undiscovered (i think)
