DH Mosquito PR.XVI. This classic type is seen here at RAF Mount Farm. Initially issued to the USAAF, it was used post-war by the Fleet Air Arm, then crashed in 1950 when with 771 Sqn FAA; scrapped in 1953. #RAF #FAA #USAAF #WW2 #Mosquito #aircraft #aviation #history www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk

Look, whomst amoungst us hasn't occasionally bombed the wrong country? We sometimes managed to bomb Sweden, the Luftwaffe bombed Ireland several times and the USAAF bombed Prauge when aiming at Dresden in 1945 (and of course, famously, Switzerland a few times)

OPERATION MIDNIGHT HAMMER was significant but it does not even rate in the Top 10 American military ops.
The Doolittle Raid was far more secretive, had 1000s of Navy and USAAF crew members directly at risk for 16 days and had greater historical impact than all of the bombs they dropped.

It's likely that President Truman didn't authorize or even know about the Nagasaki bomb until after it had happened. Again, this was all in the hands of the USAAF. Nagasaki, too, was a massive industrial center, and the USAAF wanted to obliterate as much resistance as possible.
