Enemy Attack!!! 4/16/2013 – The Jack London Bar – 7:30pm

By oregonhistorian · On April 10, 2013

 

Get Some...Please join Resident Historian Doug Kenck-Crispin at The Jack London Bar on Tuesday April 16th, 2013 at 7:30pm as he discusses – “Enemy Attack!!! Oregon and Japan in World War 2.”

Between Japanese Balloon Bombs, Giant Submarines and a Bomb Dropping Float Plane, Oregon became “the only state to have had [specific bad shit] happen in World War 2” in several different categories.

AND… as a special treat for the evening, our friend Bill Lascher is going to talk about a project he has been working on. Bill has been writing  a book about WW2 journalist Melville Jacoby, who had some truly unique experiences on the other side of the Pacific, behind Japanese lines.  It will be a rare treat to hear Bill talk about Jacoby, and we are quite excited that he will be joining us!

You too should come join us at The Jack London Bar – and as always, the event is FREE!!
