The Last Bomb

[scannon]

DOD films in color of the last mass B-29 bombing raid on Japan . It is about 36 minutes long and records the bombers and P-51 fighter support in the mission.

 

This is spectacular live footage of the 3,000 round trip mile air assault upon the Japanese mainland, with 3 bomber wings and a host of P-51's. No matter what war footage you ever saw before, this is the real deal and will keep your undivided attention. The P-51 & B29 footage is remarkable. The strafing runs by the P-51 drivers were incredible. A 36 minute gem for those who at this time of year would like to trace the dots from Pearl Harbor in 1941 back to Japan in 1945 -- the Last Bomb.

Good History lesson.

Sure did wake the sleeping Tiger after the Pearl Harbor attack.
