The Never-Finished Puzzle of History

When I was researching WWII for The Last Frontier of the Fading West, I became enthralled with the Japanese balloon bombs , a rather primitive, yet brilliant, weapon developed by the Japanese for use in their war against the U.S., and which the U.S. government kept secret to avoid a panic. I found a way to include them in the story (including their fascinating construction and delivery mechanisms) when one of these bombs caused the only WWII-related deaths on U.S. soil not far from Port Orford . But in all my research, I never read about the Triple Nickles , nickname for the 555th Parachute Infantry Battallion, the nation's first black paratroopers, which is very much a part of this history , and finally coming to light, courtesy of OPB, Oregon Public Broadcasting. What I love about history is that it is never finite. . .over time, new information is revealed, transforming our understanding of the events. If you are a WWII buff, add this piece to the puzzle. https://www.opb.org/news/article/trip...
