Thank you, I appreciate you listening!
Iwo Jima was NEVER going to be a bomber base. It was to be a fighter base because P-51's with drop tanks would have the range to escort the B-29s into Japan & back out again. AND it provided a handy emergency field for bombers too shot up to make it back to the Marianas. Iwo saved an estimated 2,000 B-29 crew men.
