    <> "World War II U.S. bombers swept across the Japanese mainland.

    In modern warfare, as warplanes and bombs become more advanced, civilians on both sides of the war have also suffered from air raids and bombing. After Japan launched the Pearl Harbor Incident, the US military, which was still passive at that time, sent 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle to attack oil depots, factories and military facilities in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe and other places in Japan.

    But with the island-hopping tactics working and the new B-29 Superfortress bomber coming out, the U.S. military's bombing plan was assured. After the recovery of the Mariana Islands, a large number of B-29 bombers were moved to the area, and at the end of February 1945, 174 B-29 bombers were sent to Tokyo for the first time, bombing an area of 2 square kilometers around the area.

    A total of 334 U.S. bombers flew over Tokyo, each carrying six to eight tons of incendiary bombs, which began on 9 March. Nearly 100,000 people were killed by 2,000 tons of incendiary bombs, nearly 41 square kilometers of land were burned, large areas of commercial areas were burned, and all 22 industrial targets were blown up. Two days later, the US military also attacked the three major cities of Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe with superior bombers, and almost burned Osaka, an important city in the western part of the Kansai region.

    Two months later, the U.S. military bombed Tokyo with 470 planes and burned down 220,000 houses, which dealt a blow to Japan's morale and forced the prime minister at the time, Fumihiro Konoe, to consider the possibility of an armistice. The bombing of Tokyo on March 9 was regarded by later researchers as the deadliest non-nuclear bombing campaign during World War II, which was more tragic than the bombing of Dresden and Hamburg in Nazi Germany on the European battlefield. The number of direct ** was even higher than that of the later atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    The bombing mission was planned by General Curtis Lemay, who originally flew to Japan via China, but because the flight distance was too long, the bombers could not carry enough bombs, and after taking over the command of the 21st Bomber Command, he changed the strategic direction different from that of the European theater: low-altitude bombing at night. The wooden structure and the lack of night combat capabilities of the Japanese air force made the US bombing of Tokyo a shocking success, and also greatly reduced its own damage, in the March bombing, only 9 B-29 bombers were shot down, 9 forced to land on the sea, and the rest all returned to the base safely.

    However, it has been criticized for using incendiary bombs to bomb civilians on a large scale, which is suspected of being inhumane; However, most scholars believe that the bombing was a strategic attrition and shock due to the fact that there were many major bombings by the Japanese army in Chongqing and Shanghai at that time, so no American pilots were prosecuted after the war. Tokyo was also severely damaged, and the road to recovery after the war was quite difficult, and it was not until 1950 that the city's appearance and related infrastructure were rebuilt.

After the reconquest of the Mariana Islands, a large number of B-29 bombers were moved to the area, armed with incendiary bombs. At the end of February 1945, 174 B-29 bombers were sent to Tokyo for the first time to bomb an area of 2 square kilometers around the country.

    After the heavy bombing, which began on March 9, a total of 334 American bombers flew over Tokyo. Each aircraft carried six to eight tons of incendiary bombs. Tokyo, which is still mostly made of wood, is caught in a raging fire.

    The 2,000-ton incendiary bombs killed nearly 100,000 people, burned nearly 41 square kilometers, burned large commercial areas, and destroyed all 22 industrial targets.

    Shockingly, no American pilots were prosecuted after the war.

    Tokyo was also severely damaged, and the road to post-war reconstruction was difficult. It was not until after 1950 that the cityscape and related infrastructure were rebuilt.

    Junkers Ju-290 (Heavy Horizontal Bomber Tarduler).

    1. The AR 234 Lightning bomber adopts a high monowing, flat airfoil, and a Junkers Jumo 004 engine is suspended under each wing. The weight of the machine is planned to reach 8,000 kg. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft and increase the amount of fuel it can carry, Aladu did not use the usual retractable landing gear; The scheme used is:

    The aircraft takes off on a detachable front three-point trolley and lands on a retractable skid located in the middle of the fuselage and under the engine fairing.

    Second, the A-3 model became the heaviest armed system during World War II after being equipped with navigation equipment and armed systems; Two hydraulically powered HDL 151 20 mg 151 20 gun turrets were installed in the rear area, and one 20 mm MG 151 20 cannon and one 13 mm (..) were installed in the belly pod area of the noseThe 51 in) MG 131 heavy machine gun was mounted in the belly pod of the nose and a 20 mm MG 151 20 in the area of the aft turret.

    3. The ME 264 is made of all-metal, equipped with four engines, with a circular fuselage section and a glass cockpit similar to that of the B-29. The main wing is a flat airfoil with a high monoplane configuration and a small angle sweep, and the rear fuselage has two vertical tails, which are set at the end of the horizontal tail. The landing gear is a three-point front, and the huge main wheels are set on the main landing gear under the main wings.

    In order to increase the fuel load, machine guns for self-defense were less armored with bulletproof armor, and the machine guns were set on the sides and operated by remote control.

    4. The Junkers JU188 is a medium bomber that served in the Nazi Luftwaffe during World War II, and was developed based on the JU 88 bomber to develop a bomber with better performance and bomb load. From 1939 onwards, the original JU 88 was developed to add a number of not very smooth viewing areas, the so-called beetle eyes, in order to give bomb sighters a glass nose for easy observation; The cockpit consists of two glass cockpits combined with a sturdy sheet metal fuselage structure.

    A fighter is a fighter plane, which is used to carry out the task of destroying enemy aircraft in the air, while a bomber is an aircraft used to bomb targets on the ground and water. Difference between combat objectives: Fighter aircraft are military aircraft, also known as fighters, that are used to destroy enemy planes and other flying aircraft in the air to change from air attack weapons.

    Attack aircraft are mainly used to directly support ground forces (surface ship units) by attacking the enemy's tactical defense and small targets in the depth of shallow and close campaigns from low and ultra-low altitudes. Bombers are used to bomb ground and surface targets.

    Fighters:Fighter aircraft belong to a type of fighter plane, that is, a military aircraft used to destroy enemy aircraft and other flying air attack weapons in the air. During the Second World War, it was widely known as the destroyer.

    The main task of the fighter is to engage in air combat with enemy fighters and seize air superiority (air supremacy). The second is to intercept enemy bombers, attack planes and cruise missiles, and can also carry a certain number of ground attack missions to carry out ground attack missions. Fighters include interceptors for air defense in important areas, but since the 60s of the 20th century.

    The difference between a fighter and a bomber is that the object of the battle is different! Fighters are mainly used to fight for air supremacy, while bombers are mainly used to strike at ground to sea.
