The balloons carried bombs, which were intended to start forest fires. About a thousand of them reached North America, and several struck Michigan. Come to learn about this improbable bombing campaign. _____ cid:image011.jpg@01D542C8.57F53DC0If you enjoy “sniffing out” and exploring Michigan’s most fascinating historical facets, join us for our evening series of in-depth lectures.
