Anybody ever heard of Japs using phospherous against b29? not too effective it seems.. but I was wondering if this is going to be in the game?

I've never heard about this but I'm interested in hearing what you know. How did they use it? Did they fly ahead and drop it on them? Sort of bombing the bombers?

This really cool book:"Hell Birds the History of the B29" written by a ww2 bombadier, mentioned them... including one terrible incedent leading to the awarding of a medal of honor to a copilot who picked a burnig jap psho granade and tossed it out of the plane... aug glad to fight my war in the pac from a keyboard...
