Toyama burns after B-29 air raids, 1 August 1945

Due to indoctrination few men who flew on the raids felt that what they did was immoral. The alleged Japanese treatment of prisoners and civilians in its occupied zones was all too well known to the flight crews and many felt that the Japanese had brought such attacks on themselves. The incendiary raids were carried out at night and the chance of a crew returning from such a raid was high. Only 22 bombers were lost in this ten-day period – an overall loss of 1.4%.
