My readings concur. The B-29 raids really impacted the Japanese. There was very little defense against them. Their war production had plummeted as had their food production. If we’d wanted to we could have starved them to death. Imagine how history would play that in today’s pc world.

B29 raids at 4,000 feet was amazing effective on indrustal targets once the Japanese air defense system was smashed, however the primary problem with the Japanese economy and food production seemed from the US Navy sinking all thier cargo ships(Mostly sub work, one of the greatest but seldom talked campaigns from ww2). Japan has few natural resources and had to import most items from the mainland. Note that food production is done in rural areas far from the terror bombings.
