HumanDrone 4 Posted December 20, 2012 I've had two occasions to be in places famous for such activity - London and Pearl Harbor - and having lived a very comfortable life in Southwest Pennsylvania, found it astounding to consider the scenes I was viewing, except with the addition of bombers in the sky, flak, gunfire, explosions, screams of the wounded, dying, shocked and grieving, etc.-- but wow, that map is an eye-opener! Thanks for that, and Merry Christmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted December 20, 2012 More information than I needed on bombstrikes, but certainly a labor of love on somebody's part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyby PC 23 Posted December 22, 2012 Not to criticise, but I know at least 1 building destroyed which doesn't mark the bomb which did it. The site (Throgmorton Av) is straddled by a HE bomb and a parachute mine, no direct hit, but I understood the building took a direct hit. That said, I suppose a direct hit with an incendiary bomb was more than capable of destroying a building and those types of bombs would be far too numerous to record. I don't doubt the map is diligently done and the bombs marked reflect recorded bomb sites, but there were a lot more bombs than that. Edit - I stand corrected!!! Just noticed that map is just from Oct 40 to June 41. Yikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
