The on July 10, 1945, was part of the strategic bombing campaign waged by the United States of America against the civilian population and military targets during the Japan home islands campaign in the closing stages of World War II.〔Hoyt. '' Inferno: The Fire Bombing of Japan, March 9 – August 15, 1945''〕 ==Background== The city of Sendai was the largest population and commercial center of the Tohoku region of northern Honshu island, but lacked specific targets of strategic military significance. The Tōhoku Main Line railway connecting Tokyo with Aomori also ran through the city.〔United States Strategic Bombing Survey. (''Summary Report(Pacific War)'' ) July 1, 1946〕 The industrial city of Kamaishi was bombed on July 14, 1945, which was also the first air raid experienced in Miyagi Prefecture during the war. The first experience of Sendai with bombing was on March 10, 1945, when three B-29 Superfortress bombers from the Tokyo Air Raid dropped their bomb load on Mount Zaō for unknown reasons, killing 34 civilians, and an additional two B-29 bombers attacked Sendai Airport causing minor damage. On May 25, 1945, a photo-reconnaissance B-29 overflew Sendai at an altitude of 8000 feet, compiling a detailed map of the downtown area of the city. On July 10, 1945, another B-29 made an over flight of Sendai, this time dropping propaganda leaflets warning the residents of the city of its imminent destruction.
