U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Lori Darr, 374th Operations Support Squadron airfield operations systems officer, waits in line to present an incense offering during the B-29 Memorial Ceremony at the Sengen Shrine, Shizuoka, Japan, June 20, 2026. On June 20, 1945, two B-29 aircraft collided in midair during a bombing run over Shizuoka City. Twenty-three aircrew members were killed, along with approximately 2,000 Japanese civilians. Since 1972, residents of Shizuoka have conducted a memorial service, alongside members from the 374 AW, to honor both the fallen B-29 crewmembers and the citizens of Shizuoka who perished in the bombing raids.
