Japanese Balloon Bombs
On Nov. 3, 1944, the Japanese launched operational balloon bombs as a means of direct reprisal against the U.S. mainland as a result of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. The balloons, made of paper or rubberized silk, carried anti-personnel and incendiary bombs. (U.S. Air Force illustration)
