Re: Was there a B-29 raid on Tokyo on 8/9 May 1945 ?

Stig,
Thank you. The Danish text says (my translation):

Quote:
During bombing missions over Japan the B-29 could be hit by Japanese fire. On one B-29 mission (Jens''s third mission over Japan) the 8-9 May 1945 the aircraft was hit more than 200 times over Tokyo. The entire aircraft each time it was hit and Jens was very frightened.
Quoted from Vemb Borger- og Håndværkerforening (1994). Vemb-bo i amerikansk tjeneste under krigen, Vemb by og dens borgere II, which is a publication from a local historical society and therefore not entirely trustworthy on aviation matters

Kind regards

Mikkel
