__ In 1944, an air base for B-29 Bombers was constructed on Chinese Land, near city of ChengDu.
Fuel, bombs, and B-29s themselves had to be air-carried from India to the base over Himarala Mountain.

The airbases made it possible to attack most of Japan's main Land. __ After Iwo-Jima conquered, airbase was made for P-51 fighters and for emergency landing of B-29 on the island. After that, B-29s could fly to Japan with protection by P-51 fighters. [BACK] [NEXT] [Page Top] [Top of "Nagaoka Air Raid"] [Site Map] Copyright;Turbot in Kobe. All rights reserved.
