Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

The first B-29 to land on Iwo Jima was named “Dinah Might” and flew with 9th Bomb Group based on Tinian in the Marianas. “Dinah Might” was returning from Japan and landed on the airstrip when one end was held by the Japanese and the other by the US Marines. The airplane’s problems were corrected and it took off for Tinian later the same day.
