"Operation Meetinghouse" was deliberately constructed to preserve Japan's imperial palace & the Emperor. The firestorm was designed at Denham Studios in England and Culver City Studios in California. Harvard developed the incendiary bombs and Standard Oil built Japanese villages in Utah to test flying altitudes. AIG insurance did more than General LeMay, who was brought in at the last minute, and he took the fall. More was spent on just the B-29 to burn Asia than the US spent on the Manhattan project.
