Title

Kenneth on the Type of Work He Did for the BEW

Description

Kenneth's work with the BEW began with a study of Southeast Asian countries to select bombing targets that would be significant in hurting the enemy's abilities to control the area. This began with important bridges, machine shops, roundhouses, electrical plants, pinpointing their latitude and longitude and evaluating the effect of bombing them.
