    During World War II a military plane made a forced landing in a Kansas farm field. The local farmer believed the Japanese were attacking, and chased the pilot around the plane for a time. What made the farmer jump to this conclusion?

    Question #110100. Asked by Datsmeharse. (Oct 23 09 8:38 PM)

    		"Hazel Ying Lee ( August 24, 1912–25 November 1944) was a Chinese American pilot who flew for the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.

    Hazel had two forced landings. One landing took place in a Kansas wheat field. A farmer, pitchfork in hand, chased her around the plane while shouting to his neighbors that the Japanese had invaded Kansas. Alternately running and ducking under her wing, Hazel finally stood her ground. She told the farmer who she was and demanded that he put the pitchfork down. He complied."
