In the early hours over Tokyo, 334 B-29 Superfortresses carved a message into the night sky — a message the Imperial Japanese military could no longer ignore. For years, Japan believed it could control the air war through willpower, tactics, and the spirit of its fighter pilots. But on this night, the raw industrial power of the United States proved otherwise.

The B-29s came in waves, flying lower, faster, and heavier than Japan ever anticipated. Anti-aircraft guns overheated, fighters scrambled too late, and communication across Tokyo fractured as the sky turned into a wall of fire. When the last bomber left Japanese airspace, one truth was undeniable: Japan could not win the air war.

In this documentary, we reveal:
• Why the B-29 was the most advanced bomber of WWII
• The tactics used over Tokyo that overwhelmed Japan’s defenses
• What Japanese commanders said after witnessing the raid
• How 334 bombers exposed the weakness of Japan’s air strategy
• The moment military leaders admitted the war had turned

This was the night that changed the Pacific — and proved the Empire’s downfall was inevitable.
