brookings, oreogn -- is a city in Curry County, Oregon, United States, named after John E. Brookings, president of the Brookings Lumber and Box Company, which founded the city in 1908. On September 9, 1942, Mount Emily, near Brookings, became the first site in the continental United States to suffer aerial bombardment in wartime. A Japanese floatplane piloted by Nobuo Fujita was launched from submarine I-25. The plane was armed with incendiary bombs on a mission to start massive fires in the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest.[8][9] The attack caused only minor damage. see more at www.footeprintart.com
