DateJuly 1941
PerpetratorsFranklin D. Roosevelt, Claire Chennault, USA

JB 355 was secret plan by the Roosevelt Administration in July 1941 that called for dozens or hundreds of American bombers with American crews masked by Chinese markings to fly bombing missions against Japanese cities, crippling crucial war production facilities and, hopefully, keeping Japan too busy with China to attack British and American interests in the Pacific.[1][2]

The plan is a third rail subject and does not have a Wikipedia article.
