Following the devastating Pearl Harbor attack, the joint military leadership of General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz developed a Pacific War Strategy to defeat Japan that became known as "island-hopping". The goal was to seize and establish a chain of Pacific Island bases across thousands of miles of open ocean to bridge and provide defended supply lines to bring U.S. forces within B-29 bomber and land assault range of the geographically isolated Japanese islands. It took over two years and the transformation of America's overwhelming industrial output to the war to reach, capture and establish B-29 bases on the Mariana Islands that would bring an end to the war. This new article published by the 6th Bomb Group tells the incredible island-hopping story, including the importance of key battles, and how a country caught unprepared and militarily vulnerable at Pearl Harbor ended in the U.S. emerging as the world's economic and military super power: https://6thbombgroup.com/pacific-war-strategy-the-advance-to-japan/ (LINK IN BIO)

84 years ago this week on Sept 21, 1942 Boeing test flew its first B-29 prototype, the XB-29. Boeing had submitted the best proposal for the long range bomber and was awarded a defense contract for two prototypes in November 1940. In the two years the development required, the Army Air Forces made 1300 specification changes based on lessons learned from aerial warfare in the early months of WWII and available new technology. By the time of the first test flight Boeing had orders for 1664 B-29s despite the great development work still to be done and problems to be solved. The story behind the development is told by then B-29 CFC Gunner Lawrence S. Smith in an article published by the 6th Bomb Group: https://6thbombgroup.com/b-29-development/ (LINK IN BIO)

America's disruptive Boeing B-29 Bomber was decisive in ending the Pacific War 81 years ago this month in 1945. It was the only bomber capable of reaching the highly isolated Japanese mainland from Ally bases (3000 miles, 14-15 hour non-stop missions round trip) and it was the only aircraft capable of carrying and delivering the massive atomic bombs. Then B-29 flight engineer Lawrence Stewart gives a tour of the B-29 and its many advanced features in an article published by the 6th Bomb Group: https://6thbombgroup.com/the-b-29-bomber/ (LINK IN BIO)

U.S. military forces liberated American and Allied prisoners held in Japanese POW camps 81 years ago this month directly following Japan's surrender. Among these were captured American B-29 crewmen who were not treated as POWs by the Japanese but as sub-human war criminals incarcerated in notorious Kempei Tai Military Police prisons. There they were severely beaten, speared, starved, poisoned, beheaded, vivisectioned, burnt alive and imprisoned under unimaginably horrific conditions. Less than 3 in 5 survived their capture. Most survivors lost half their body weight. Many, if not most, were immediately taken by landing craft to the USS Benevolence hospital ship anchored in Tokyo Bay when liberated.

Japan officially surrendered 81 years ago this week on Sept. 2, 1945 aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Roughly 1000 total aircraft, including 462 B-29s, staged a fly over in a "show of force" to underscore the overwhelming air power that brought WII to an end. 6BG B-29 navigator Donald Kearney whimsically describes staging the formation, the spectacle of the fly over and seeing the impact of the B-29 nighttime incendiary raids on Tokyo for the first time in daylight: https://6thbombgroup.com/japanese-surrender-ceremony-show-of-force/ (LINK IN BIO)
