There was also a "famous" bank robbery where I was born and it's on the Santa Fe trail so there's lots of history from that too.
How and who bombed it? I thought Pearl Harbor was the only one, then again, maybe Pearl Harbor doesn't count because it was bombed before we entered the war.
The planes were on a practice run and were off course and mistook the town for the practice bombing range and actually dropped 6 bombs on the town. No one was killed at least. It's Boise City Oklahoma. (rhymes with voice)
