Witness the Tokyo firebombing of March 9–10, 1945—the deadliest air raid in history. This documentary unpacks Operation Meetinghouse: how 325 B-29 Superfortresses, loaded with M69 napalm incendiaries, turned Tokyo’s Shitamachi district into a firestorm, and why Japanese air defenses couldn’t stop it. We break down Curtis LeMay’s tactics, the jet stream problem, low-altitude night raids, and the human cost—over 100,000 dead, 267,171 buildings destroyed, and 1 million displaced.
You’ll see how American industrial power, meteorology, and controversial strategy collided: Pathfinder “X” markers, incendiary clusters, 5,000–7,000 ft attack runs, and the aftermath across Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe. We also ask the hard question: did strategic bombing alone push Japan toward surrender—or did it simply escalate total war?
