Interesting. Nimitz says a 300 plane B-29 strike against Tokyo is the next order up.

I have to say, for the past 5 or so months, I've been rather underwhelmed with the reported results of these B-29 bombings.

Its good that we have a plane capable of reaching Japan but my expectations have been for more dramatic results than we've been hearing about. Especially since it doesn't appear to be meeting significant fighter opposition over Japan.

In class we learned from Mr. Simpson that a B-29 carries 4 times the payload of a B-24 making the upcoming 300 plane strike against Tokyo equivalent to a 1,200 B-24 strike against Berlin.

If we don't hear significant results from this upcoming raid, we are going to have to begin questioning command level decision making.

I may be confused about the time, but if I’m not mistaken, the planned 300 plane B-29 raid is scheduled to be at night.

When did they begin considerations for a nuclear bomb or two to end the war
