Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945 was also as disasterous as Hiroshima.
Please pay more attention.

Sorry have to disagree on that one.

In terms of total casualties at the time you are correct. But the number of casualties over the next 20 years due to radiation exposure was far greater (unfortunately).

Interesting thing about those radiation deaths.

The Australian newspaper did a project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb and went looking for the children and spouses of all the Aus PoWs that were at Hiroshima and Nagasaki as they were sure that none of the PoWs who survived the bombs would still be alive.

Surprise surprise - the death toll of those PoWs in the first few years after the war was very high as expected but the rest were outlasting the other service members who were not radiated.

One guy in particular had his whole back as one massive scar yet was fit and healthy for his age.

I do not know how to get archive copies of The Australian. Being a Murdoch publication they will no doubt be expensive

Sorry to say but you are talking about the genuine human experiment while I talked about the war crime. OK?

Photos will be quicker to explain. This was clearly against the Geneva Convention.

Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945. Some other dates may be mixed.

As horrible as the bobmbings were, at that time war was total war. The Hamburg and Dresden raids over Germany were prime examples of that philosophy.

Shinpachi · Apr 1, 2023

More horrible photos can be found in the internet.
Attacking from the sky may have not given the sense of guilt to attackers so much because what happened on the ground was invisible. This is also what the Pearl Harbor attackers confirmed in their testimonies like "May I destroy this beautiful port?".
By emphasising the "victory of science", these ordinary war facts had been easily ignored in the history IMHO.

War is just a plain ugly thing.

If we made the leaders and politicians do all the fighting, you can rest assured that warfare would immediately be a thing of the past...

IMHO that's the Mitsubishi Ki-51 Type 99 "Sonia"

SaparotRob · Apr 6, 2023

I knew it was something with an "S".

VERSUCH · Apr 6, 2023

Its a queer bird , with a differing radio mast location and the folding canopy, might be a later version ?

Good point.
The photo in question looks like an early type prior to production number 133.

Yep .. here both variants can be seen during the flight. The both foreground ones have the later antanna mast while the background one on the left has the earlier one.
