Page 36 of Life really jumped out at me: “How to Burn Down Tokyo with Incendiary Bombs.” 100 bombers...using the prevailing winds to fan the flames...
Paging General LeMay....
That article really caught my eye too. So even back in early ‘42 less than 10 days after the Doolittle Raid, LIFE is speculating about how to burn down Japanese cities. It’s no wonder we created the bat bomb. It would have been interesting to see how it would have worked.
