  • Tokyo raids and war damage museum exhibit
    DUKAS_48077349_POL
    Tokyo raids and war damage museum exhibit
    March 9, 2015 - Tokyo, Japan: The Center of the Tokyo Raids and War Damage is museum dedicated to Peace and memorials of those who died during Allied air attacks on Tokyo from 1942 to 1945. The most horrific was on March 10, 1945 when American B-29 Superfortress bombers under the command of General Curtis LeMay, conducted a massive air raid on Tokyo, devastating the city and causing the deaths of 100,000. Code named "Operation Meetinghouse," this was the single most destructive bombing raid in history, more than the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. During that early AM raid, LeMay¿s low flying Superfortresses unloaded 2500 tons of bombs on Tokyo, each a 250 kilo incendiary bomb that contained 38 "boomlet" pipes filled with napalm. Strong winds hat night also contributed to fierce firestorms. However, this air raid receives much less attention than Hiroshima and Nagasaki as both the US and Japanese governments care not to publicize the attack. Historic accounts have concluded the raid was unnecessary and could have been prevented by either side. As such, the Japanese government does not fund this museum forcing it to be funded privately. It holds regular exhibitions, cultural events, lectures and has amassed a large archive of documents, photographs, films and recordings related to the raids, as well as publishes books. From February 25 to April 12, 2015 the museum is holding a special photo exhibition for the 70th anniversary of the March 10, 1945 air raid featuring 130 photos by Japanese photographers who documented Allied air attacks from 1942 to 1945. These are from a collection of 1400 photographs the museum built over the last three years, accumulated from public and private sources. This resulted in the publication of book entitled "Tokyo Kushu Shashin Shu". (Torin Boyd/Polaris). (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

    WW 2 March 10 raid over Tokyo kills 100,000
    March 16, 1945 - Tokyo, Japan: Bodies in a river near Kikukawa Bridge. On March 10, 1945, American B-29 Superfortress bombers, under the command of General Curtis LeMay, conducted a massive air raid on Tokyo from midnight to dawn, devastating the city by orchestrated firestorms that caused the deaths of 100,000. Code named "Operation Meetinghouse," this was the single most destructive bombing raid in history, more than the singular attacks on Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden. In 138 minutes, LeMay' s low flying Superfortresses unloaded 2500 tons of bombs on Tokyo, each a 250 kilo incendiary bomb that contained 38 "boomlet" pipes filled with napalm. On impact these scattered and ignited, squirting out flaming gasoline that incinerated anything in its path. Strong winds in Tokyo that night contributed to the firestorm. Photo taken by Koyo Ishikawa (1904-1989), an officer of the Metropolitan Police Department who was ordered by the Superintendent General of TMPD to photograph the destruction. He was one of the very few photographers to document the March 10, raid as the government had strict regulations prohibiting civilians from taking pictures of war damage. After the war, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers found out Ishikawa had these photographs and demanded his negatives be surrendered to General Headquarters and General Douglas MacArthur. Ishikawa resisted but eventually turned over 33 negatives to GHQ. For safe keeping, Ishikawa kept his remaining negatives buried in his backyard. His photos, along with others are being shown at a special photo exhibition at The Center of the Tokyo Raids and War Damage from February 25 to April 12, 2015. This is part of the museum's events observing the 70th anniversary of the March 10 air raid and features 130 photos by Japanese photographers who documented Allied air attacks from 1942 to 1945.
