(JP) A powerful fore of Superfortresses probably the largest ever to hit Japan bombed Tokyo today in "rare good weather. B29 pilots returning home radioed that they had "excellent results." Tokyo broadcasts said "approximately 90" Superfortresses striking in five waves in the early afternoon (Japanese time) caused "some damage to ground installations." Japanese announcers said the giant bombers began the attack at 2:30 p. (.1:30 a. m.

Eastern War Time) and continued dropping bombs and incendiaries on the area for an hour. The raid, the 52nd Superfort attack on Japan, was first announced by the 20th air force in Washington. This was the fifth mass B29 strike at the enemy's home islands in February. Reports Are Unusual Both "good weather" and the report of results from returning planes while still in flight are "very unusual," unofficial headquarters spokesmen said. Results of such strikes usually ara not reported until photograph have been examined after the Superforls have returned to their Marianaa bases.

Built 20 Yean Ago The harbor, familiarly known at Leonardo as "the lagoon," was originally constructed 20 years ago.
