Up to 100,000 people were killed and another million injured when more than 300 American B-29 bombers dropped 1,500 tons of firebombs on Tokyo on March 10, 1945. On its 75th anniversary, the impact and legacy of the Japan air raids remain largely unknown.

Bombs dropped by the Americans had created tornadoes of fire so intense that they were sucking mattresses from homes and hurling them down the street along with furniture -- and people. "The flames consumed them, turning them into balls of fire," says Nihei, now 83. Nihei had been asleep when the bombs began raining down on Tokyo, then a city comprised of mostly wooden houses, prompting her to flee the home she shared with her parents, her older brother and her younger sister.
