***I suppose a few hundred incendiary missions could have been flown first...***
A couple of days after Nagasaki we did fly a mission with incendiaries over Japan and again killed tens of thousands but no one remembers that.
What gets the leftists upset is we used ONE plane with ONE bomb. If we had used 500 planes with conventional bombs and killed the same number nothing would have been said.
