Thirty Minutes Over Oregon: Japanese WWII Story

Thirty Minutes Over Oregon: A Japanese Pilot's World War II Story

The devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, drew the United States into World War II in 1941. But few are aware that several months later, the Japanese pilot Nobuo Fujita dropped bombs in the woods outside a small town in coastal Oregon. This is the story of those bombings, and what came after, when Fujita returned to Oregon twenty years later, this time to apologize.

This remarkable true story, beautifully illustrated in watercolor, is an important and moving account of reconciliation after war.
