Questions relating to every 20th century year.

1941 Which industrial midlands town is virtually destroyed in the blitz? Coventry being an obvious answer except it was 1940. I can find no other midlands town/city blitzed in 1941 yet the quizsetter maintains the date is correct.

1958 In America what do scientists begin to measure? Cannot find any answer on this.

1965 Two political celebrations take place. What are they and what do they celebrate? This is a bad question and one which is extremely subjective.

Thanks for any help

From November 1940 to February 1941, the Luftwaffe attacked industrial and port cities. Targets included Coventry, Southampton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Swindon, Plymouth, Cardiff, Manchester, Sheffield, Portsmouth, and Avonmouth. During this period, fourteen attacks were mounted on ports, nine on industrial targets inland and eight on London.

So could it be Birmingham?

1958 - I think it was around this time that they started measuring radiation levels following the various a-bomb tests. I think it had something to do with how carbon dating started.

Coventry was indeed bombed in November 1940 but again in April 1941

so the answer may be Coventry; there again, Coventry was and is a "city" not a town.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
Earthakitten, it was a very good quiz but it has to be in by this Saturday and is an annual affair, I think.
Atoach, I think you're probably right with Coventry in April in spite of it being a city (same as Birmingham).
Will trudge on to the 11th hour.

Thanks again
