Their engines thundered as they carried over half a million napalm and petroleum jelly canisters, poised for a mission that would forever alter the course of history. • Codenamed Operation Meetinghouse, this raid marked a decisive shift from the precision bombings that had defined previous U.S. strategies. • After months of targeted strikes by the Twentieth Air Force yielded limited results, the decision was made to abandon precision in favor of overwhelming force—a tactic that had already brought cities like Hamburg and Dresden to their knees. • As night fell, a strong wind swept across the Japanese archipelago. • Japan's defenses, weakened and unprepared, stood little chance against the inferno that was about to be unleashed. The American bombers filled the sky, and a storm of fire rained down on Tokyo. • Entire neighborhoods were consumed by flames, the sky turned pitch black, and the ashes of war began to fall like snow—black, deadly snow. • Tokyo, with its many wooden and bamboo structures, was particularly vulnerable. Over 16 square miles of the city were engulfed in a firestorm. This harrowing event, later known as The Night of the Black Snow, would eclipse even the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in sheer destruction. To this day, it remains the single most devastating bombing raid in human history. • KEYWORDS 🔐 🔒 • audiobook , WW2 , pacific war , japanese , American, world war , war Echoes
