Re: B-29 bombing missions to Hokkaido Island
Thank you, Rolland,
Here are a couple of maps to help visualize the location of these places.

B-29 original operational range map (this range was stretched by the end of the war from bases in the Marianas)

The likelihood of B-29 attacks on Sapporo and Hokkaido in general seem to be dwindling. Still looking forward to any response by Pacific Wrecks on this topic where it appears they have data of these attacks but failed to cite sources for their data.
