Re: B-29 bombing missions to Hokkaido Island

On the subject of attacks on Northern Japan at this time there is a pertinent comment in Richard Frank's book "Downfall" concerning Halsey's attacks on the Honshu-Hokkaido railroad ferries, on July 14 and 15:

"This blow by carrier planes ranks as the most devastating single strategic bombing success of all the campaigns against Japan".
