Essay on flyboys (James Bradley)
Flyboys, a book written by James Bradley, is an epic tale written about a time of havoc and turmoil. In World War Two a new field of battle was opened to fight in-the air. Flyboys turns back in time to bring many historical events to life, such as the Sand Creek Massacre, Billy Mitchell's sinking of the "unsinkable", and the usage of napalm against Japan in WWII. Hailed as one of the greatest moments in American history , the Sand Creek Massacre was in fact a slaughter of over 150 Indian women and children, led by Minister John Chivington. Preacher John elated his tale of "victory" over the Indians (while the men were hunting) in the Denver Theater. The audience laughed at a pile of Indian penis
The third dimension of battle opened many opportunities for America in WWII because of their investments into the field of Airplanes. Napalm cost almost as many lives as the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Napalm could not be put out until it burned itself out. The first napalm raid on Tokyo was sent from 2000 feet above Tokyo by 334 B-29's . Emperor Hirohito was never accused of any war crimes whereas the major officials in Japan were charged with abysmal crimes such as cannibalism and first degree murder. cylinders of jellied gasoline which upon impact spewed fire for a radius of over 50 feet each which could not be put out. Billy Mitchell was being set up for disaster as the test for him was to sink the Ostfriesland using his airplanes. Twenty-one minutes into the "test," the Ostfriesland disappeared beneath the water. Napalm in Tokyo had dispirited the Japanese, the bombings broke their hearts. Near the end of WWII napalm was starting to be used on the cities of Japan. No citizen of Denver saw any wrong with the "battle", and even appointed John Chivington to be the deputy sheriff. Billy Mitchell was the one man who pushed the most for the third dimension of battle to be opened. America had captured the German battleship that was "unsinkable. Many Senators, Representatives, and naval experts watched in disbelief as Mitchell's planes, carrying two-thousand pounds of explosives, flew towards the shore and dropped bombs.
