1 The Bombings Section 1 THE ROAD TO MANHATTAN The U.S. had been at war with Japan since the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the day Japan also bombed Manila and took control of the Philippines. By mid-1942, Japanese forces had gained control of all East Asia, most of Southeast Asia, and half the Pacific area altogether, approximately 1/6 of the earth s surface. *Pacific War area map (M. Borthwick, Pacific Century, p. 222) Thus, no offensive bombing of Japan proper could be launched until Japanese island bases in the Pacific could be taken and airfields built to accommodate the large B-29s. Except for a daring raid from China on western Japan in April 1942, Japan s skies remained free of U.S. bombers until June And Japan s major cities Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, etc. were still out of range from the Pacific-based bombers. 1
2 Meanwhile, from 1942 the U.S. pursued a radically new wartime course: development of a two bombs using radioactive materials with explosive force and long-term effects far beyond anything yet known or experienced. The overall effort was named the Manhattan Project. This project for developing the world s first atomic weapons began on a $2 million budget, with a twin project to build 2,000 of the B-29 superfortress bombers at an eventual cost of $3 billion at the time, the largest-ever U.S. military budgets. By early 1945, however, a major U.S. naval victory at Midway Island opened the way to U.S. control of the Marianna Islands of Guam, Saipan, and Tinian, only 1,300 miles from Tokyo that is, close enough for the B- 29s to reach Japan proper and return. Soon the largest-ever military airfields were constructed on these islands. The B-29 was first used for day-time, high-altitude precision bombing of Germany s munitions industries. But for Japan, Gen. Curtis Le May changed from daytime, high-altitude precision raids with high-explosive bombs (that had served well in Germany) to low-altitude, nighttime, carpet-bombing with thousands of incendiary (fire) bombs. Opening round: Tokyo Throughout the night of March 9-10, 1945, flying in streams 400-miles long, a fleet of 334 B-29s firebombed central Tokyo for nearly three hours. Within 30 minutes of the first bomb, fires were burning out of control, embroiling the city s center in a firestorm with temperatures reaching 1,000 C (1,899 F), hot enough to cause water to boil in canals and fire-safety cisterns. Over 100,000 people men, women, and children perished and a million were injured, 41,000 seriously. Another million were made homeless in the scorched capital wasteland. *B-29s dropping firebombs on Hiroshima 2
3 *Fire-bombed Tokyo The Tokyo raid was followed by similar bombings of Nagoya (March 11), Osaka (March 13), and Kobe (March 16). Thus, in eight days, with 1,600 sorties, LeMay s air force burned out 32 square miles of the centers of Japan four largest cities, killing at least 150,000 people, though probably tens of thousands more. In April, LeMay wrote privately to his commanding general, I consider that for the first time, strategic air bombardment (shows) that destruction of Japan s ability to wage war lies within the capability of this command. LeMay had found, says historian Richard Rhodes, a method whereby the Air Force might end the Pacific War without (an) invasion. These four raids initiated a five-month bombing of Japan s main islands. Waves of B-29s destroyed over half the total area of 66 urban centers, reducing 178 square miles to ashes. This March-July fire-bombing campaign is estimated to have taken more civilian lives than the half-million killed during five years of Allied bombing of Germany. 3

5 *U.S. map of Japan, indicating the 66 cities (Smithsonian) This map of Japan shows the principal industrial cities that were burned out by incendiary attacks. Figures indicate what percent of a city was destroyed. For comparison, each city is paired with a U.S. city of comparable population size. Yokohama (57.6%) and Kobe (55.7%) appear to have been the most devastated Meantime, by spring of 1945, U.S. submarines had destroyed Japan s merchant marine, and isolated the country by mining its harbors and coastal waters. Thus, by early summer, virtually all shipping, manufacturing, transportation, and food distribution had ground to a halt. In such dire circumstances, one faction of Japan s central war council pushed for surrender, while a fight to the finish faction resisted. Meantime, the U.S. was readying a knockout punch with a new weapon of unprecedented power. Just one such bomb would surpass all the incendiary bombing of Tokyo.
