underwhelmed with the reported results of these B-29 bombings.


Read the article on land sea bombardment. It is a good analysis......................

Except we already learned in class that the pre-invasion bombardment of Iwo was undersized for at least two reasons; First being the navy wanted to make a big show by striking Tokyo. Second was that the ammunition allocation for the naval bombardment of Iwo was not expended before the first wave went ashore.
