Scroll through and look at the pictures. Page 27 has the actual bombs they were looking for.

Maybe there is something to those "explosive" hits that ReelJerks keeps getting on his bottom bouncer all the time :!: :?: :roll:

Actually, I can remember one of my uncles telling me about "war effort" factories in Rochester. Supposedly places like Bausch & Lomb, Kodak, Dupont were on some secret German target list.

Back in the early 60's, there was a farm field behind us on Whitier Rd (Ogden) that had a wierd wire-trapieze set-up between some telephone poles & we couldn't figure out what it was. It was posted by the gov't & the farmer told us that his Dad used to have a deal with the gov't to test fuses there. We never knew if we should have believed him or not. There also was a airplane "spotter" tower on the corner of Whitier & Buffalo Rd which was interesting because we could never figure out why a German plane would ever approach Rochester from the west. (It's setup in the airport now)

Come on Spring :!:
