This week Seth and Bill take a deep, and horrifying, dive into Mission number 40 from the Marianas and 21st Bomber Command, codenamed Operation MEETINGHOUSE. The raid that occurred on the night of March 10, 1945, was the single deadliest air raid in all of human history. Faced with failure after failure and the mounting pressure of a Japanese Home Island invasion, General Curtis LeMay takes drastic measures to deliver a knockout blow to Japan with his B-29s. Throwing everything that had been ingrained in his training for years, LeMay sends his B-29s in at 5,000 feet at night armed with incendiary bombs to flatten a 12 square mile area of Tokyo. The raid that took place, and the firestorm that ensued, accounted for over 110,000 Japanese lives in a six-hour period. Tune in and hear what the team has to say about the one raid that changed the way the United States Army Air Forces fought the war against Japan. #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary

War has returned to the European continent, putting many previous divisions into perspective. This has caused European leaders to think afresh about their politics – and raised the question of the United Kingdom's role in European foreign policy. Seven years after the Brexit referendum, the EU and the UK have finally resolved some of their differences through the Windsor Framework. The possibility of a reset between the UK and the EU on foreign policy could be on the horizon. In this year's mini-series, Mark Leonard and Susi Dennison examine what a reimagined EU-UK relationship might look like. In this seventh episode, Mark and Susi welcome ECFR senior policy fellow, Nick Witney, who previously served as the first chief executive of the European Defence Agency, and ECFR distinguished policy fellow, Camille Grand, who is a former NATO assistant secretary general. How have Brexit and then the war in Ukraine affected UK-EU defence cooperation? What potential is there for future collaboration in defence, especially in the areas of industry, technology, and energy? And could NATO act as a vehicle for a different kind of defence relationship between the UK and EU member state s? This podcast was recorded on 20 July 2023.

Episode 372: Video Home System Killed the Betamax Star This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets all nostalgic with some old home videos only to discover something unspeakably horrible on a tape labeled “David's 12th Birthday” (Actual footage of his 12th birthday, god he was a fat little kid!) On the show this week we tell the tale of the most brutal conflict of the 1980's, the war between VHS and Beta (So…Much…Blood) Along the way we discover why Dave isn't allowed in any movie theaters anymore. (It would be better if it were a Pee Wee Herman thing) Then we dive right into the creation of home video, from its absurdly British beginnings to the mighty Titan that was Sony striding across the land. (Spoiler: Sony loses). Then we dig into General Curtis LeMay's porn preferences for reasons never truly explained, only to veer back on topic with the tale of two tape formats and the brief but bitter fight over which one would dominate the world. (It turns out to be the one that is slightly cheaper.) We wrap up with a delightful but completely irrelevant tangent on why people called Montgomery Ward department stores Monkey Ward. (Are there monkeys involved? You'll have to tune in to find out, or, you know, Google it.) Our Sponsor this week is Mondo Fast Eddie's Home Video, we got the tapes, you gotta have the machines. We open the show NEC's brand new video cassette machine and close with Lucy May Walker eulogizing the Radio Star.

This episode finishes the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis, when President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. With the benefit of secret tapes which revealed the tense decision-making of President Kennedy and his advisors, as well as the secret archives of the Soviet Union that opened up after the end of the Cold War we know that General Maxwell Taylor, Kennedy's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest-ranking officer in the United States military, advised Kennedy to launch massive airstrikes against Cuba with no advance warning in order to disable the Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba before they became operational and a threat to the US homeland. We also now know that some of the missiles were, in fact, already operational and ready to launch on short notice. The Air Force Chief of Staff, General Curtis Lemay told Kennedy, quote, “we don't have any choice other than direct military action.” Of course, with 20/20 hindsight, we did. Had different choices been made then by President Kennedy, you would likely not be listening to this podcast here today. There probably would not be any podcasts at all. There may not be many humans left at all. October and November 1962 of the Cuban Missile Crisis were probably the most dangerous days in recorded human history. This is the story.

In order to make the strategic bombing runs over Japan more effective, General Curtis LeMay and other USAAF leaders wanted the B-29s to be escorted by fighters. In order for this to happen, the US needed a base much closer to Japan, because no fighter at the time could make it from Saipan or Guam to Japan and back. To meet this need, American military planners decided to launch an invasion of Iwo Jima, which is only 750 miles from Japan. Iwo Jima was only 8 square miles in size and was covered with black volcanic ash rather than sand. More significantly for the American invaders, the Japanese defenders had dug deep into a network of underground caves and tunnels that were impervious to American bombs and shells. The fight would be slow and bloody. Would the Americans be able to root out the Japanese and take the island? Join us and see!

In May 1944, the US unveiled a new weapon, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber. It was bigger and faster than the B-17, it had a greater range, and it could carry a heavier bomb load (8-10 tons). Despite many early problems, by early 1945, B-29s were causing heavy damage on Japanese cities in the firebombing campaign led by General Curtis LeMay. In this episode, James and Scott discuss the controversial policy of firebombing, including its background, its execution, and its results.

With the bombing campaign on the clock as the invasion of Japan draws nearer, Arnold replaces General Haywood Hansel with General Curtis LeMay to command the B-29s in the Marianas. LeMay is told to inflict maximum damage on Japan, and as his bombers fail to successfully destroy Japanese industry with conventional bombing tactics, LeMay is forced to improvise. Join us in this episode of LeMay's Inferno as we jump into the cockpit with a thousand American aviators as we ride along on the deadliest and most destructive bombing mission in human history: The March 9-10, 1945, Firebombing of Tokyo. The inferno has begun.

Last week the Air Force said that the new Stratcom headquarters building at Offutt Air Force would be name after General Curtis LeMay, His name has long been attached the current HQ building that is being replaced. Rosie has the story behind LeMay's life and career, which some will say had negatives as well as positives.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr Mel Deaile, former B-52 and B-2 pilot and Associate Professor at USAF Air University for a talk about his book: 'Always at War: Organizational Culture in Strategic Air Command, 1946-62.' We discuss the early days of SAC and it's culture, as well as the controversies surrounding General Curtis LeMay.

Mel Deaile is an associate professor at the Air Command and Staff College. Dr. Deaile is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, with a PhD in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill, who flew the B-52 Stratofortress and the B-2 Spirit. He has flown combat operations as part of Operations Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom, including a record setting 44.3-hour combat mission. Dr. Deaile is the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross and is a distinguished graduate of the USAF Weapon School. Mel. Deaile is also the author of Always at War. Mel Deaile– Training to Combat Mel Deaile, grew up in Fresno, California.  He attended the Air Force Academy after high school to study Astronomical Engineering.  Mel then went to pilot training at Williams Air Force Base and within a year was flying combat missions as part of Desert Storm from Diego Garcia over Iraq. “Within a year I got about 9 total missions mainly against the republican guard.” – Mel Deaile Planning For Transition The transition from the Air Force was relatively easy for Mel due to planning ahead.  Prior to transitioning a job opened up at the Center for Unconventional Weapon Studies in Nuclear Deterrence and studies nuclear policy. He applied, received the job and started his academia career. “Make the transition when the opportunity is there.” – Mel Deaile Domineering Force Del is the author of Always at War.  The book looks at Strategic Air Command (SAC) from its inception through the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Del says the primary reason for the book is to look at how SAC became the domineering force in the Air Force for about the first 2 decades that the Air Force was independent. “A lot of people, when you say SAC automatically think of General Curtis LeMay.” – Mel Deaile Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.

El día 6 de agosto de 1945, el bombardero americano B-29 llamado "Enola Gay", nombre de la madre del piloto, Paul Tibbets, dejó caer la primera bomba de uranio que se lanzaba en el mundo, sobre la ciudad japonesa de Hiroshima. Cuatro días más tarde se lanzó una segunda bomba en Nagasaki. La razón dada por los americanos para justificar la acción, fue la de salvar miles de vidas aliadas, anticipándose a una invasión del territorio japonés. El comité de estudio de la bomba atómica en EE.UU. recomendó que ésta fuese usada lo antes posible... sin previo aviso a las fuerzas militares enemigas. Algunos americanos creían que los japoneses, a través de una justa negociación, hubieran podido rendirse evitando así la catástrofe. El 15 de septiembre de 1945, el Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores japonés firma la rendición. Incluye testimonios de Toshikazu Kase, Yoshio Kodama, Marquis Koichi Kido, del Mayor General Charles Sweeney, del Brigadier General Paul Tibbets, Alger Hiss, W. Averell Harriman, Lord Avon, McGeorge Bundy, John J. McCloy, del General Curtis LeMay y Hisatsune Sakomizu.

El bombardeo alemán a Gran Bretaña ocasiona una estridente petición pública de venganza. Pero hacia finales de 1941 las fuerzas británicas, compuestas de 700 aviones, están siendo gravemente mermadas por las batallas del Norte de África y del Atlántico. La llegada de Arthur "Bombardero" Harris para hacerse cargo del Mando de Bombarderos anuncia una nueva actitud. Harris está a favor de la venganza, proclamando públicamente: "Ellos han sembrado el viento y ahora recogerán el torbellino". Lo más importante es que él cree que el bombardeo puede, por sí mismo, derrotar a Alemania...

General Curtis LeMay became one of the most important US military leaders during the Cold Wa. One of the most famous or well-known things about LeMay is that he reportedly said, in the mid-60s, that, in order to win the Vietnam war the US Air Force should, "bomb the North Vietnamese back into the Stone Age." Did LeMay say it? Or, more accurately, was he the first person to say it? And was he the first to present it as the distillation of a wartime policy idea? Oh, it's complicated, Buzzkillers. Find out in this episode!

General Curtis LeMay is perhaps the most misunderstood general of the 20th century, despite the fact that he played a major role in so many important military events of the last century: he turned the air war in Europe from a dismal failure to a great success, he helped defeat Japan without a costly land invasion, he commanded the start of Berlin Air Lift, and he was on the Joint Chiefs during the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, the LeMay legacy that has survived into the 21st century paints LeMay as a crude, trigger-happy, cigar-chomping general who joined political forces with one of the most famous racists in American history, George Wallace. Today's guest Warren Kozak argues that Lemay was an overlooked general who made the difficult but necessary decisions that eventually helped the United States win World War II and the Cold War, as well as strengthen our military forces when we needed them most. LeMay is most often remembered for two minor marks in his life: a statement he did not actually make (about bombing North Vietnam back to the Stone Age) and a brief political affiliation with George Wallace despite their deep disagreements over racial politics. Unfortunately, these parts of Curtis LeMay’s life have overshadowed many more years of military success. According to Kozak, these accomplishments include: LeMay devised the plan to use incendiary bombs over Japan that, while killing hundreds of thousands, saved millions from an impending ground invasion of Japan LeMay turned the air war over Europe around and he was the only general to lead his troops, insisting on flying the lead bomber on every dangerous mission. He championed the creation of an independent Air Force, as well as the improvement of American military planes He turned the Strategic Air Command from a dismal failure into the deadliest fighting force in history RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Curtis LeMay: Strategist and Tactician ABOUT WARREN Warren Kozak is an author and journalist who has written for television’s most respected news anchors. Winner of the prestigious Benton Fellowship at the University of Chicago in 1993, he was an on-air reporter for NPR and his work has appeared on PBS and in the Washington Post, the New York Sun and The Wall Street Journal as well as other newspapers and magazines.

Author Warrren Kozak joined me tonight to discuss his exceptional biography LeMay: The Life And Wars Of General Curtis LeMay. Like most Americans, I had no idea what a significant man Lemay was in 20th century aviation and warfare. This book also serves as a mini case study in management techniques because Lemay was masterful in building large organizations, fostering open dialog and earning the trust of those he commanded. I highly recommend this book. "The firebombing of Tokyo, the Strategic Air Command, John F. Kennedy, Robert S. McNamara, Dr. Strangelove and George Wallace. All of these have one common link -- General Curtis LeMay, who remains as enigmatic and controversial today as he was during his life. Until now. Warren Kozak traces the trajectory of America's most infamous military commander who killed more civilians than any other man in U.S. history but had a profound impact on winning World War II and the Cold War. LeMay: The Life And Wars Of General Curtis LeMay gives an unprecedented glimpse into the might and mind of one of the founding fathers of American power, whose far-reaching influence, and controversial ideas, stay with us to this day."
