0 h 16 min, 19 mars 1945 ans - Firebombing starts on Japan

Description:

Firebombing comes to the cities of Japan. Three hundred and thirty-four American B-29s roared in low over Tokyo and dropped hundreds of thousands of 70-pound napalm bombs. Sixteen square miles of the city — built largely of pine and paper and bamboo — burst into flame. More than a million were left without homes. In the next ten days, the Americans hit Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya again. Some 50,000 more people were killed
