Chapter 27: Falling Down

Life at the camp got better after Watanabe's departure. B-29s continuously bombed different cities around Japan. On February 17, 1500 American planes flew over the POW camps toward Japanese cities. Seven days later, the Americans bombed Tokyo for the first time. On March 1, Louie and some of his friends were transferred to a camp called 4B. Louie found out that this was the camp the Bird was at, and collapsed in dispair.
