Looks like things got crowded on Iwo with all those superforts coming in for emergency landings... Very crowded at times. reportedly 2,251 B-29s stopped at Iwo for fuel or repair or as a final stop with too much damage to continue . 36 of those while combat for the island was still in progress. the first of those landed with one end of the too small runway was in US hands while the other end was Japanese . |
