 The 75th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid  Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, an Alameda native son, was the Commander of the raid on Japan on April 18, 1942 by 16 B-25 American bombers. The bombers took off from the U.S.S. Hornet at about 750 miles east of Japan where they struck factories and other industrial targets in six Japanese cities. The raid had little effect on Japan’s military or industrial capabilities and America lost seven men and four others spent the rest of the war in POW camps   But the raid had a devastating effect on the confidence of the Japanese people and its leaders and was a much needed morale booster for Americans. The raid and complex preparation are described in fascinating detail in the Air Force Magazine, April/May 2017 issue. The Alameda Naval Air Mus...

    Alameda Point developer was selected by the City Council at their meeting on Tuesday, November 18.  The City Council voted to approve an exclusive agreement with Alameda Point Partners to negotiate a deal to develop a 68-acre waterfront town center at the former Naval Air Station  Residents were opposed to the move because they feel that the lame duck council should give the new council a chance to make the decision.       The vote was 5-0 to approve the agreement with council members said “they needed to respect the two year public process they’ve engaged in to develop a plan for the Point.   According to the “Alamedan” several council members made comments defending their vote:   “This is a tough decision.
