Hell for Honshu: An Army Air Corps Navigator Tells the Story of the World War II Bombing Raids on Japan

Inside the cabin of a B-29 on a 3,000 mile trip to bomb Japan!

Larry Nelson, a farm boy from South Dakota, enlisted in the Army Air Corps to fulfill a romantic dream to become a pilot. Romance turned to harsh reality when he failed an eye exam and became a navigator instead. Harsh reality became terror inside the cabin of a B-29. When high altitude bombing raids on Japan failed, they turned to devastating night fire raids on Japanese cities. These raids resulted in the near total destruction of Tokyo-Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka and other smaller cities.
