Were there any AIR ATTACKS on the
United States then?

Sure was.

Riiiiight...all launched by Japanese RADIO AMATEURS?

Guess you forgot about the Japanese balloon bomb offensive where some
9,000 bomb carrying ballons were launched to be carried over the US by
prevailing winds. Maybe a 1,000 reached the US but only 285 incidences
were reported, some as far away as Michigan.

Riiiiight...all REPORTED by American RADIO AMATEURS on
"balloon watch" duty? [published in WW2 ARRL bulletins?]

"As far away as Michigan?" :-) Do you consider the state of
Michigan as "DX?" :-)

I didn't "forget" about those non-fatal "balloon 'attacks'", I
just IGNORED them. They made "zero-point-zero" effect on the
WW2 production of the United States of America.

Buzziebaby, you just leave the "history" of RADIO AMATEURS at
war to the ARRL, Davie the Heil, and Jimmie Noserve. THEY were
THERE and know far better than you about the "war years."

Jimmie is the group's guru on Air and Space activity in the
US of A (if not around the world) and is ultimate authority
on what is what in Air and Space. He KNOWS stuff...after
reading so much about it. Dudly has "zero-point-zero"
experience as either amateur or professional in SPACE, which is
about the same as you (your black-and-white TV show being
cancelled back in the 50s). Davie the Heil "worked with NASA"
someplace (he said once in here)...another Space "expert."
Listen to your betters.

Try to recall what this newsgroup is about, okay? [RADIO
AMATEUR POLICY, not some "war history" blabbering by lil
kiddies who weren't even born until after WW2]
