26 B-24’s dropped delayed fuse 500 pound bombs on the airfields in the 29th at IWO JIMA.


It looks like a change of strategy for the IWO airfields. Delayed fuse bombs this time. Still wondering why 50 B29’s didn’t get the job done.

Any bomb experts here?

Airfields like railroads can be put back into operation quite rapidly.
