A Bombing Respite

I'll take a break from serious OKC history blogging and show you this video that good friend Dean Schirf sent to me yesterday ... and add another which, in fact, does have to do with bombing in Oklahoma during World War II. First, the video Dean sent describes George Gobel's Oklahoma experiences during World War II ...


George was right, of course, about not one Japanese aircraft getting past Tulsa. But, American bombers did. Poor little Boise City in the panhandle took it on the chin in July 1943. Check out the nice OETA Centennial Stories video below ... the only continental US city to be bombed during World War II was in Oklahoma ...


OK, OK ... I'll get back to serious Oklahoma City history right away.
