From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Battle of Los Angeles was an anti-aircraft artillery barrage in February 1942 over Los Angeles, California, in response to a perceived attack on the continental United States by Imperial Japan, subsequently attributed to a case of "war nerves" likely triggered by a lost weather balloon.
