Research focus: My research will look at the American strategic bombing campaign during the Pacific War against Japan's Chubu region. It will analyze the depth the bombing raids had in impacting the region's economy and ability to produce aircraft. Major aircraft manufactures Mitsubishi, Aichi, and Nakajima had numerous production facilities across the region, making it a prominent wartime target.
