770th Chemical Depot Company (Aviation)
The 770th arrived in Okinawa, ready to provide incendiary bombs (and perhaps toxic chemical bombs) for the B-29s of Jimmy Doolittle’s Eighth Air Force, as Eighth moved from Europe to the Pacific and prepared to support the invasion of Japan. The war ended before the 770th joined the action, but they were there after Japan’s surrender for a powerful typhoon and to guard a mysterious “China Bomb Dump.” The 770th was one of several segregated Companies during WWII, with Black NCOs and other enlisted men and white commissioned officers.
