Скачать или смотреть Japanese Pilots Terrified: B-29 Night Raids & Firebombing Campaign of WWII Japan Explained

On the night of March 9th, 1945, Japanese pilots faced a terror like no other—the relentless B-29 Superfortresses returning night after night over Tokyo. These aircraft were unlike any enemy they had encountered. Capable of carrying 20,000 pounds of bombs, flying at 30,000+ feet, and bristling with remote-controlled guns, the B-29s seemed unstoppable. For pilots like Squadron Leader Isamu Kashiide and Lieutenant Saburo Sakai, every mission became a fight against not just machines, but an overwhelming industrial force that Japan could not match.

The firebombing raids destroyed entire neighborhoods, creating firestorms so intense they generated hurricane-force winds and fused the ground into molten glass. By May 1945, sixty-seven cities had been attacked, leaving hundreds of thousands dead and millions homeless. Japanese pilots faced physical and psychological exhaustion, battling superior technology while watching their cities burn.

This video breaks down the terrifying reality of the B-29 campaigns, the unmatched industrial might of the United States, and the human cost for Japan’s pilots and civilians. We dive into first-hand accounts, battle tactics, aircraft specs, and the relentless nature of night raids that changed the course of the Pacific War.
