Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) very long range bomber units conducted eleven air raids on Japanese-occupied Singapore between November 1944 and March 1945 during World War II. Most of these raids targeted the naval base and dockyard facilities of the island, though several minelaying missions were also conducted in nearby waters. After the American bombers were redeployed the British Royal Air Force continued minelaying operations near Singapore until 24 May 1945. The raids had mixed results. While significant damage was inflicted on Singapore's important naval base and commercial port, some of the raids on these targets were not successful and other attacks on oil storage facilities on islands near Singapore were ineffective. The minelaying campaign disrupted Japanese shipping in the Singapore area and resulted in the loss of three vessels and damage to a further ten, but did not have decisive results.
