    Re: Bomber versus fighters at height

    The B-29s were pressurized, and flew very high altitude missions against Japan, at least initially. Weather conditions over Japan prevented accurate bombing of precision targets during these missions, which led Curtis LeMay to use the Superforts in the low-level fire raids of 1945.
