Template:Main Template:Infobox NRHP On September 9, 1942, the Japanese submarine I-25 surfaced near Cape Blanco, Oregon, and launched a Yokosuka E14Y "Glen" seaplane piloted by Nobuo Fujita, who dropped incendiary bombs on Mount Emily in an unsuccessful attempt to start a major forest fire.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> This made Mount Emily the second place in the continental United States to be bombed by an enemy aircraft, with Dutch Harbor occurring three months earlier in Unalaska, Alaska. The site of the bombing was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Wheeler Ridge Japanese Bombing Site in July 2006.<ref name="nris"/>
