  • Nobuo Fujita (藤田信雄?) (1911 – 30 September 1997) was a Warrant Flying Officer of the Imperial Japanese Navy who flew a floatplane from the long-range submarine aircraft carrier I-25, and conducted the only wartime aircraft-dropped bombing on the continental United States of America, which became known as the Lookout Air Raid. There were two attacks. The first came on September 9, 1942. Fujita and his co-pilot, Shoji Okuda dropped two incidiary bombs in the vicinity of Brookings, Oregon, but rains from night before negated their effectiveness. One started a fire that was easily extinguished. The other was never found. The second attack came on September 29, and caused only negligible damage. Indeed, no one in the U.S. seems to have noticed the attack. Fujita was tapped for the kamikaze program, but the war ended before he was activated. He even visited Brookings, Oregon several times beginning in 1962, and was met warmly. He became an honorary citizen of Brookings just prior to his death in 1997.
