March 10, 1964

Comment: Not much going on but, on this day exactly 19 years before, 334 B29 Bombers dropped incendiary bombs on Tokyo killing at least 100,000 people, mostly civilians. Curtis Le May, the commander at the time later said: "Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal."
