This is part two of a four part series about curtis lamay and the events of march 19 forty five. Part one was about an insurgent group of pilots who believed that wars could be won entirely from the air, but bombers need bombs. And this episode is about the scientists who tempted the bomber mafia with one of the most seductive and the most deadly weapons of the modern era.
Basement laboratories. Mad scientists. Sticky gels, and a bake-off in the desert. The strange story behind Curtis LeMay’s weapon of choice. Part two.
