	Wikinfo \| Bombing of Tokyo in World War II
		The key development for the bombing of Japan was the B-29, which had an operational range of 1500 miles (2,400 km); almost 90% of the bombs dropped on the home islands of Japan were delivered by this type of bomber (147,000 tons).
		Unlike the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were intended to knock Japan out of war immediately, fire-bombing, which killed more civilians in total, was carried out as a long term strategy to destroy Japan's ability to produce war materials as well as undermine the Japanese Government's will to continue the war.
		In the context of total war, the large number Japanese civilians killed by strategic bombing were seen as an acceptable number by the American administration.

	Firebombing Summary
		Firebombing is a bombing technique designed to damage a target, generally an urban area, through the use of fire rather than the blast effects of large bombs.
		The use of a mixture of bombers carrying high explosive bombs, such as the British blockbuster bombs which blew out windows and roofs exposing the interior of buildings to the incendiary bombs were much more effective.
		During the strategic bombings of World War II this technique was as effective as the atomic bombs used against Japanese cities (where construction with wood and paper was common) toward the end of World War II.
