Not Basel, but it was two attacks on this city (according to my more learned source) even though its Wikipedia page mentions only one.

Which is real close to Munich according to my wife.

paulderynck -> RE: Next quiz (10/30/2011 1:08:03 AM)
No this city is much closer to Freiburg than it is to Munich.

The Swiss city bombed twice in WWII by the USAAF is Schaffhausen. (Source: With Wings Like Eagles by Michael Korda) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaffhausen

Who led the first land attack on US forces on Guadalcanal in August 1942, thinking he could achieve victory with just 800 men?

Extraneous -> RE: Next quiz (11/4/2011 4:30:22 PM)
The man who as a major is credited with starting World War II and leader of the Midway invasion forces Colonel Ichiki. From My Post #: 619 The Japanese launch “Operation Ka” (the Japanese Counter Offensive in the Solomon Islands August 1942) to counter the U.S. landings on Guadalcanal and to sink Allied warships. On August 16th the Japanese reinforcement convoy departs Truk for Guadalcanal in 3 echelons. The 1st echelon consisting of 6 destroyers carrying Colonel Ichiki's assault battalion from the 28th Infantry Regiment. The 2nd echelon consisting of Jintsu, 2 patrol boats, and 2 transports carrying the remaining 1,100 men of the 28th Infantry Regiment. The 3rd echelon consisting of 2 patrol boats and a fast transport carrying about 1,000 troops of the 5th Yokosuka SNLF. On August 17, the Second Fleet's Advance Force arrives at Truk. On August 18th, 3 destroyers merge with the 2nd and 3rd echelons en-route to Guadalcanal. August 19th, a destroyer in the 1st echelon is damaged by 9 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers. Later, the 1st echelon lands Colonel Ichiki's troops at Cape Taivu.

warspite1 -> RE: Next quiz (11/4/2011 8:45:20 PM)
Ichiki is the right answer.

The Battle of Surigao Strait (October 25, 1944) Southern Force ~ Vice Admirals Shoji Nishimura Battleships Yamashiro and Fusô Heavy cruiser Mogami four destroyers. The Second Striking Force ~ Vice Admiral Kiyohide Shima Heavy cruisers Nachi (Flag), and Ashigara Light cruiser Abukuma destroyers Akebono, Ushio, Kasumi, and Shiranuhi. 7th Fleet Support Force ~ Rear Admiral Jesse Oldendorf Battleships West Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi, Tennessee, California, and Pennsylvania Heavy cruisers (USS Louisville (flagship), Portland, Minneapolis and HMAS Shropshire) Light cruisers (Denver, Columbia, Phoenix and Boise). 28 destroyers 39 motor torpedo boats (PT boats) What was “special” about the Japanese Battleships? With the exception of the Battleship Mississippi what was “special” about the American Battleships?

Ur_Vile_WEdge -> RE: Next quiz (11/5/2011 4:01:35 PM)
For the Americans, besides the Mississippi, all of those ships had been sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor and since repaired. Don't know about the Japanese Battleships though.

michaelbaldur -> RE: Next quiz (11/5/2011 4:15:23 PM)
the Japanese battle ship escorted the carriers that damaged those American Battleships

Extraneous -> RE: Next quiz (11/5/2011 8:51:21 PM)
Correct Battleships West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, California, and Pennsylvania were all sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor. Battleships Hiei and Kirishima escorted the carriers to Pearl Harbor.

Extraneous -> RE: Next quiz (11/6/2011 1:07:22 PM)
Hiei was sunk at the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (November 13, 1942) Kirishima was sunk at the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (November 14-15, 1942) What was “special” about the Japanese Battleships? Fuso Class (No its not the class) Year Completed: Fuso: 1915 Yamashiro: 1917 Displacement: 39,154 tons Dimensions: 39,154 tons Speed: 25 knots Armament: 12 x 14"/45, 16 (later 14) x 6"/50, 8 x 5"/40 DP, up to 37 x 25mm AA Armor: 12" belt, 2" (later 3.8") deck, 12" bulkhead, 12" turret face, 13.75" conning tower Crew: 1,400

warspite1 -> RE: Next quiz (11/6/2011 8:41:41 PM)
While pondering the answer to the one above, how about this one? In which naval battle did the American's lose not only their commander, but also the second in command?

Extraneous -> RE: Next quiz (11/7/2011 1:58:01 PM)
What was “special” about the Japanese Battleships? They were known as "the Old Battleships" and were slow. That’s how they were chosen. That’s how they received this assignment.

Who shot down Isoroku Yamamoto? Where was his plane knocked out of the sky? What aircraft type did the shooting? When was it?

It was Lamphier (or his wingman I'm not really sure without googling it), onboard a P-38G, and Yamamoto was on an inspection tour, flown in a G4M1 Betty from Rabaul to the Salomon, and when he was shot down by the long ranged P-38 mission, he was about to land on the southern tip of Bougainville Island, I'm not sure if it is Buna. The story don't tell if he died on the crash or under the Lightnings' gunfire, but on that 18 april 1943 the fortune definitely stopped smiling to the Japanese.

Correct it was Captain Thomas Lamphier 2. The plane was on its way from Rabaul to Ballale Island, in the Solomons. It was over Bougainville when intercepted by the US aircraft. The plane crashed in the jungle near Buin, Bougainville. 3. It was a Lightning P-38G
