World War II Aviation: The Final Blows
The Final Blow
In late 1944, strategic bombing became an effective tool to force the Japanese
To surrender. B-29 Superfortresses of the XXI Bomber Command, initially
Flying high-altitude, precision daylight bombing missions, began bombing key
Targets in Japan. However, strong jet stream winds compromised th
effectiveness of their Norden bombsights. In March 1945, Maj. Gen. Curtis E.
Lemay ordered the bombers to abandon these failed tactics in favor of low-
Altitude missions at night using incendiary bombs. These attacks, carried out by
Hundreds of B-29s, devastated Japanese cities
On August 6 and 9, 1945, specially modified B-29 of the 509th Composite
Group carried out two of the final strategic bombing missions of the war. They
Dropped a single atomic bomb on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki. Japan
surrendered days later.
Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay
General LeMay (left) emerged as one of the most celebrated air commanders of the war. He led the XX Bomber Command in the China-Burma-India theater; commanded the XXI Bomber Comand, headquartered on Guam; became chief of staff of the Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific. LeMay is shown with Maj. Gen. Haywood S. “Possum” Hansell, who assumed leadership of the XXI Bomber Command in August 1944.
The Kamikaze
Japan employed kamikaze, or suicide units, in last days of the war in a desparate attempt to stem the tide of the U.S. advance. Some 5,900 pilots perished in kamikaze attacks. Kamikaze tactics brought considerable damage to U.S. warships off Okinawa in April 1945, sinking 21 and damaging 217 more. The jet-propelled Baka, shown here, was designed for kamikaze missions.
“Little Boy” Atomic Bomb
The B-29 Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy” on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Note the three arming plugs near the top center seam of the weapon. Examples of these are located in the nearby exhibit case.

Recently I noticed half of the pickup didn't work on my beloved old 1987 Fender Precision Bass (I've been the only owner).. So tonight I took it apart to fix it and put on new strings.
Back in early 1994 I had Precision Guitar install an EMG pickup. I was under the impression I was buying a regular passive pickup. And when I went to pick it up and pay them they didn't tell me any different, and there was no battery cover on the back, so I thought all was good.
So tonight I noticed the mess they made under the pick guard.. They routed some of the body out so they could stuff a 9-volt battery wrapped in electrical tape in there. Since they never told me they decided (on their own) to install an active pickup I never knew, so I never checked it or changed it. (They don't last forever, and they knew this)
So tonight I find a heavily corroded battery in there, and it's so corroded I can't even detach it from the clip. At this point I am assuming the corrosion finally got bad enough in recent years that the rust/junk is no longer conducting electricity.
What really irritates me is that if the tech was going to dig out some wood with the router, why the hell not rout a small hole in the back and install a proper battery box so someone can access to change the battery?
Before the second "muncher" removes a section of the decommissioned westbound SR 520 off-ramp to Lake Washington Boulevard, the first "muncher" holds the remaining girders in place.
I went all out on this one [sarcasm]
There's not a lot of original stuff you can do with an AK anymore soooo.....

A fretless Fender Precision bass guitar. In the 1950s Leo Fender made a bass guitar with frets. Since the only other bass available to a band was a double bass, these frets gave bass players an unusually precise way to hit each note and hence the name that fender gave it: "Precision Bass".
It is somewhat ironic that many bass guitarists like these fretless guitars because of the tonal possibilities, more so, that this example of a fretless is a Precision bass, and not any other model of Fender's bass guitars.
Strobist/Lighting:
A single flash, camera right, and slightly elevated above the guitar's body. Its a Metz 45, (at 1/4 power with ebay radio triggers) so its close proximity and massive head (bigger than a Vivitar, much bigger than an SB) means the light isn't too hard. This was shot in a bright white room, using a black cloth to make the background dark.
Oh, and I shot in the wrong white balance deliberately to get these funky colours, kept the exposure low to get the saturation up, and get the specular highlights off all the varnish and shiny steel from over exposing too.
My old 1987 Fender Precision Bass. She was a blond, and now she's a brunette.. (Just for a while though!) I gave this temporary neck the same serial number as the original maple neck.
Can't wait till the original neck is back in shape so I can put her back together the way she's supposed to be.. But, for now, she's gonna be a brunette for a while. :)

This 15cc 4-cycle engine measures 6 inches wide, 7.5 inches high, 5.5 inches long, weighs about 4 pounds and is designed to burn gasoline on spark ignition. The crankshaft provides splash lubrication for the internal parts, however there is an oil pump that circulates oil to and from the crankcase. Normally the oil pump was used to lubricate a front sleeve bearing, however, this engine sports ball bearings for the crankshaft that are lubricated by the crankcase oil.
Red and yellow brass was used to make the water jacket as well as many other components in the engine. The crankcase, connecting rod, piston, head, valve cover, carburetor body, and float bowl are aluminum castings. The crankshaft, cam, and flywheel are machined from steel bar stock.
