Description
14 August 1945 - Five days after the second and final atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, B-29 Superfortress bombers of the 58th Bombardment Wing, 20th Air Force carried out their final attack of the war. As part of an all-out effort to force Japan’s unconditional surrender, nearly 200 B-29s from the 58th struck the Hikari Naval Arsenal (target code: Thunderhead). The mission was considered one of the most precise bombing missions of WWII and included no B-29 losses. At noon the following day, Emperor Hirohito made a radio broadcast announcing Japan’s intention to surrender. Relic art version available at Aces In Action.
