This was a night incendiary mission involving 30 aircraft of the 6th Bomb Group:
Final mission in June for the Sixth was flown on the 28th. Late that afternoon thirty-two B-29s took off to bomb Moji on the southern shores of the Shimonoseki Straits. Planes on the night incendiary attack found a 10/10 undercast over Moji, which removed all enemy opposition and striking clusters aimed by radar, burned out .3 sq mi of the urban area.
