FOREWORDThe United States Strategic Bombing Survey
established by the Secretary of War on '.^1944, pursuant to a directive from the
President Roosevelt. Its mission was to con-an impartial and expert study of the effects
our aerial attack on Germany, to be used inwith aii- attacks on Japan and to estab-
a basis for evaluating the importance andof air power as an instrument of
strategy, for planning the future develop-of the United States armed forces, and forfuture economic policies with respect
the national defense. A summary report and200 supporting reports containing the find-of the survey in Germany have been
On 15 August 1945, President Truman requestedthe survey conduct a similar study of theof all types of air attack in the war agamstsubmitting reports in duplicate to theof War and to the Secretary of the Navy.

The survey's complement provided for 300civilians, .350 officers, and 500 enlisted men. Themilitary segment of the organization was drawnfrom the Army to the extent of 60 percent, andfrom the Navy to the extent of 40 percent. Boththe Army and the Navy gave the sui'\'ey all pos-sible assistance in furnishing men, supplies, trans-port, and information. The survey operated fromheadquarters established hi Tokyo early m Sep-tember 1945, with subheadquarters in Nagoya,Osaka, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, and with mobileteams operatmg in other parts of Japan, theislands of the Pacific, and the Asiatic mamland.
It was possible to reconstruct much of wartimeJapanese military plamiing and execution, engage-ment by engagement, and campaign by campaign,and to secure reasonably accurate statistics onJapan's economy and war-production, plant byplant, and mdustry by industry. In addition,studies were conducted on Japan's over-all stra-tegic plans and the background of her entry intothe war, the mternal discussions and negotiationsleading to her acceptance of unconditional sur-render, the course of health and morale among thecivilian population, the effectiveness of the Japa-nese civilian defense organization, and the effectsof the atomic bombs. Separate reports will beissued covering each phase of the study.The survey mterrogated more than 700 Japa-
nese military. Government, and mdustrial officials.It also recovered and translated many documentswhich not only have been useful to the survey, butalso wOl furnish data valuable for other studies.Arrangements have been made to turn over thesurvey's files to the Central Intelligence Group,through which they will be available for furtherexamination and distribution.

THE CORPORATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRYINTRODUCTION
Ishikawajima Au-craft Industries Co., Ltd.Koku Kogyo K K) was one of four
companies which made the Ha-.35 (Sakae20-, and 30-series) engines used to power the

and final engine assembly.main Tomioka plant, in the Isogo Ward ofa suburb of Yokohama, was planned

With the impetus of government demand, ex-pansion of the Tomioka plant was almost con-tinuous and new plants were purchased and built.Excluding dispersal miits (covered later in thisreport), at the time of the Japanese surrenderIshikawajima consisted of four fabrication andassembly plants, one of which was not yet inoperation, and tlu-ee accessory plants. Thesewere as follows:Fabrication and assembly plants:
Tomioka plant, in Isogo Ward, Tomioka, asuburb of Yokohama.
Chuetsu plant, at DeMachi, Higashi TonamiCounty, Toyama Prefecture.
Hidaka plant, in Wakayama Prefectm-e.Yamato plant, in Yamato Precinct, Koza
County, Kanagawa Prefecture.Accessory plants:
Nakamura-Bashi plant, in Minami Ward,Nakamura Precinct, in Yokohama.
Adachi plant, in Adachi Ward, Kono Precinctof Tokyo.
Amakami plant, in Kami Precinct, NishiNegishi, Yokohama.
In addition to these seven works, the Ishikawa-jima Co. owned several warehouses, used for thestorage of parts and tools, in the Yokohama area.The Japanese Government at no time directly
controlled, operated, subsidized, or owned anypart of the Ishikawajima Co. Governmentalrelationship was indnect only, in that it (a) loanedthe company about 30 percent of its plant ma-chinery, (6) loaned the company money fromgovernment banks, (c) established price controlsand, of com-se, {d) granted material priorities andallocations, (g) furnished labor, and (f) inspectedfinished products. A stafl:' of nine naval officerscomprised the company's inspection staft': thisstaff was headed by Captain (Navy) MasukichiKondo in 1945.

The organizational structure of the Ishikawa-jima Co. was built around the Tomioka plant asthe major fabrication and assembly unit. TheChuetsu, Hidaka, and Yaniato plants were in-tended to supply parts and assemblies to Tomiokafor final assembly of HA-35 engines (appendix A).Hidaka was, in addition, to produce turbo-super-chargers for the Navy. The tliree small accessoryplantsNakamura-Bashi, Adachi, and Ama-kamicomplemented the organization of thecompany (appendix B).The Tomioka plant was the original and largest
unit of the company, and the only works at whichnew engines were assembled. It also repaireddamaged engines and fabricated various engineparts for other manufacturers as well as for itsown assembly operations. No assembly linetechnique was used ; job shop practices, only, wereemployed.The Chuetsu plant, a fabrication and assembly
factory, repaired damaged engines, fabricatedparts for the Tomioka plant, and heat-treatedcastings for the Navy. It was acquired in Novem-ber 1943 and operated continuously thereafteruntil August 1945.The Hidaka and Yamato plants were intended
to be the remaining two major fabrication andassembly units. The Hidaka plant was convertedfrom a factory of the Chuetsu Textile Co. in Sep-tember 1943 and began small-scale operations inDecember of that year. It originally had beenintended only for the fabrication of exhaust turbo-superchargers for the Navy, but several changes ofplans and orders by the Navy prevented this beingput into effect. Hidaka's role, consequently, waslimited to production of parts for the Tomiokaplant (appendix C). The Yamato plant wasstarted in May 1943, but construction was notcompleted before the surrender to the Allies.The Nakamura-Bashi, Adachi, and Amakami
plants were small accessory producers, supplying
parts or services for the Tomioka plant. Naka-mura-Bashi began operations in August 1943 as aheat-treatment unit. Adachi, organized in March1944, was a metal-rolling mill. Amakami, ac-quired in October 1944, was the company's lumbermill.
Principal suppliers of raw materials and com-ponent parts, numbermg approximately 70, of theIshikawajima complex were almost all located inthe Tokyo-Kawasaki area adjacent to the plantand only a few were as far away as Kobe or Nagoya(reference item 1).Employment increased steadily and gradually,
both in numbers and man-hours worked, untilNovember 1944. In December 1944 the numberof employees declined gradually, and beginning inDecember 1944 man-hours worked began a longdecline which became precipitous after the disper-sal program was started in April (appendices D-1,D-2, E-1, and E-2).
Percent of man-hoiu's of work lost, for all rea-sons, was high and erratic, varying from a low of14.6 to a high of 48.4 percent (appendixes E-1and E-2). In the last 4 years prior to the sur-render, 11,843,860 man-hours, or 27.5 percent ofthe total, were lost. Since there were no direct airattacks on any works, that factor did not affectman-hours lost. Indu-ect air attacks had littleeffect on lost time increasing the total loss from 1to only 3 percent except during the final month ofAugust 1945, when this factor caused a 14.8-per-cent loss. Table 1, below, indicates the yearlytrend of lost time.

The ration of iioiiproductivo labor was faij-lyconstant, declining from a high of 50.2 percent inDecember 1941 to a low of 29.7 percent in October1944, and averaged about 35 to 37 percent, a valuequite comparable with the average Americanworks of this approximate size (appendices D-1and D-2).
Multiple, round-the-clock shifts weie inaugu-ated in October 1943, immediately after theHidaka plant was placed in operation, and priorto accjuisition of the Chuetsu plant. Thus, thepercentage of night-shift workers had relativelyittle efl'ect on plant efficiency. This percentagencreased rapidly to a high plateau of an averagefrom 16 to 18 percent from February through
ovember 1944, and declined rapidly thereafter(appendices D-1 and D-2).Labor tmiiover (new employees to total em-
trends were erratic and abrupt, from aof 0.2 percent to a high of 26.7 percent. Dur-
ng the last 14 months of the war, however, laborsteadied at a relatively even low level, iir
of the fact that the number of employeesremamed erratic and relatively high
(appendices F-1 and F-2). The term "dis-employees" includes all persons released
various reasons.THE DISPERSAL PROGRAM
Prior to the directive of the Central Section forDefense of Production (Rinji Seisan
Taisaku Chuo Honu) of the Munitionsof 4 April 1945 which ordered all au'craft
to disperse their activities, theCo. had asked the Government to
allowed to disperse some units and on their ownplanned and cariied out one dispersalnamely; some machme shop processesfrom the Tomioka plant to an urder-
gromid site at the Chuetsu plant. After the 4April order, disjjcrsal was undeilakeu with maxi-mum effort.At the time of the dispe7-sal order, construction
of the Yamato plant was incomijlete and theChuetsu plant had not begun to ])roduce turbo-superchargers. These works, thcu'efore, togetherwith the thiee small accessory plants (Adachi,Amakami, and Nakamura-Bashi) were not dis-persed; the Tomioka and Hidaka plants were.
Ishikawajima's dispersal was carried out in twostages. The first, as a result of the 4 April order,involved the moving of activities from the Tomiokaplant to underground machine shops at the follow-ing locations: Chuetsu, Sugita, Negishi, Sobu,Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, Sanuki.The second dispersal, as a result of the Muni-
tions Ministry order of 22 May 1945, for protec-tion of production facilities in the Kmki area, in-volved moving machine shops from the Hidakaplant to the Tomioka plant and to the Chuetsuand Sanuki undei'ground locations.
Plans also had been drawn to disperse the heattreatment and assembly processes to undergromrdplants at Nakamura, near Negishi, but these plansnever materialized. Of the company's total 1,318machine tools, it was planned to disperse all;actually, only 887, or 68 percent were dispersed(appendix G) . Korean labor was used extensivelyin dispersal operations.The above-mentioned undergromid shops, ex-
cept at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal and Sanuki,were all relatively small cave-type, mountamsidetimiiels located m the vicinity of the Tomiokaplant. The Yokosuka Naval Arsenal was locatedabout 3 miles south of the Tomioka plant. TheSanuki underground location, near Cliiba, wasaccessible only by water across Tokyo Bay.
THE AIR ATTACKSAIR ATTACKS ON URBAN AREAS
The Ishikawajima Co. was neither selected noras a primary target. Units of the com-
however, were struck three times in attacksadjacent url)an areas (appendix H). Data of
attacks were ascertained from records of theService Section of the United StatesBombing Survey.
The attacks upon company mstallations, exceptthe case of the Tomioka plant, did not afi'ect
production (appendix H). Damage of Tomioka'sgas supply system m the 29 June attack caused asuspension of heat treating operations and resultedin a production loss of about 90 enguies in Jidy.Effects on other mstallations was limited to mcen-diaiy damage and destruction of warehouses, tools,and material stocks. No fatalities were sustained.
Generally, attacks of the Yokohama-Tokyo areabecame so effective beginning in March and April1945 that the IshUiawajima Co. found it impossibleto carry out planned operations and engine pro-

duction was reduced about 25 percent in thoseonths. The 29 May attack destroyed the homes
of 2,500 workers and caused a loss of 30,000man-hours of work.Morale had been generally good until 12 June,
when a nearby plant was struck by HE; Ishikawa-jima workers saw casualties at first hand, heardmany stories and became nervous and "jumpy"as a result. The increased bondjings of July madethem feel they were continuously movmg closerto their own turn, and nervousness and inefficiency
increased. As a rule, HE was dreaded more thanIB attacks.Day and night attacks in June and July sloweddown dispersal activities because of disruptions totransportation and workers' homes, and produc-tion declined rapidly to about 50 percent of itsMarch value. Practically all suppliers of rawmaterials and component parts were located inthe Yokohama-Tokyo urban area and contmuedattacks in this area served to reduce and denyreceipts from these suppliers. New supply sourcescould not be found.
PRODUCTION STATISTICSIshikawajima's capacity for production of
engines rose steadily from 25 in September 1942to a level of 210 in November 1944 and remainedconstant thereafter (appendices I-l and 1-2).This steady increase was based partially on antici-pated receipts of machine tools promised by theGovernment. The acquisition and operation ofthe Hidaka and Chuetsu fabrication and assemblyplants in September and November 1943 and thefour accessory plants between May 1943 andOctober 1944 did not in any case sharply increaseengine production capacity since none of theseplants were final assembly works: the Hidakaplant, as a matter of fact, had been intendedsolely for the prockiction of exhaust-driven turbo-superchargers for the Navy.Government demand, or orders, was entirely
inconsistent with Ishikawajima's ability to pro-duce engines. Orders initially wei'e given for Gmonth periods: in April 1944 this was reduced toa 4-month short-term form of order. Thesedemands increased in relatively small amountsuntil Ishikawajima's ability to produce exceededGovernment demand in the first quarter of 1944:lliereafter, demands skyrocketed out of all pro-portion to the company's ability to produce andicaclied a high demand of 420 engines per monthin February and March 1945. Thereafter, de-mand declined abruptly to below theoreticalability to produce (appendixes I-l and 1-2).
Contrasting both plant capacity and Govern-ment demand, actual production at no timereached either ordered or capacity level. Ini-tially, Isliikawajima had insufficient technicallytrained and experienced workers to carry out amass production plan. The first Governmentorders failed to take this into account. Thereafterthe Government failed to provide promised ma-
chine tools (especially internal grinders) in timeand this resulted in production schedules beingset back about 6 months in 1943.
In 1944, shortage of labor was the most seriousproblem: many experienced production men andyoung engineers were drafted into the services.As a result of this industry-wide shortage theGovernment instituted a program of drafting stu-(h'uts and soldiers into factory labor jobs in April.Isliikawajima thus suddenly received a large num-ber of untrained laborers. As a result, fabricationrejections because of poor workmanship increasedto almost 30 percent.Beginnmg late in 1944, nickel-steel became
critically short in supply and substitute materialswere used. This resulted in many complications.The use of softer, lower grade steel in such engineparts as reduction gears, which require a highdegree of hardness, caused repeated engine failuresin test and acceptance.
This condition was a material factor in the pro-duction decline late in 1944 and e.arly in 1945.Also, in the beginning of 1945, receipts of partssuch as rocker arms, inlet valves, and push rods,from the Chuetsu plant in Toyama Prefecture,dropped materially. This was caused by rail dis-rui)tions resulting both from effects of Americanboinbmgs and heavy snowfalls during that winter.
Analysis of production curves shows that out-put increased steadily from tiie first engine assem-bled in December 1941 until the peak of 150 wasattained in June 1944 (appendixes I-l and 1-2).Production declined sharply in July and Augustbecause of difficulties in obtaining raw materialsand because of the loss of experienced and keymen to the military services, mentioned above.Recovery was further retarded during the winterof 1944-45 by dispersal of some machining opera-

ISHIKAWAJIMA APPENDIX CHISTORY OF THE HIDAKA PLANT
The Hidaka plant of the Ishikawajima Aii'craftCo., Ltd., located in Hidaka Gun,Ken, on the north coast of Honshu,
prior to its piu-chase in September 1943, afactory of the Chuetsu Textile Co., Ltd.,main offices and plant were located in
in Higashi Tonami County in Toyamathis purchase, the Ishikawajima Co.,
had been carrying out its experiementalon aircraft engines and turbo-supercharg-m its Tomioka plant, transferred these activi-
to the Hidaka plant. This transfer begim in1943, involved 50 machiiie tools and
employees, and was carried out in small incre-lasting 1 year. At that time, experimentalhad progressed to the stage where the com-was prepared to start work on production of
i ET model 5 2,000 H exhaust-driven turbo-for the Navy as an experimental
production problem initially was primarilyacquisition of machine tools to equip this fac-for production. Some all-purpose machinewere on hand, but production schedules de-
various s])ecial-type tools such as specialto finish turbine blades. However, since
companies were being expanded at the time,tools could not be obtained rapidly.the meantime, military demands for tm-bo-
became pressing. In March 1944Munitions Ministry ordered production of
Model 2 1,000 H exhaust-driven turbo-a type considered moi'e generally
to combat. Accordingly, Ishikawajimaup plans for producing 450 of these imits per
using 250 machme tools and 2,060 employ-by March 1945, and because of shortage of
tools, adopted the three-shift system ofProduction was to have begun in Jime
of materials proceeded fahdybut it still was found to be impossible to
the requii'ed machine tools. Only in theof the heat treatment shop was good
made, and this shop was completed byPlant operations dm-ing that time wereto making tools for large-scale production
both the Mitsubishi Model 2 and the I ET
Model 5 turl)o-sui)erchargers, and tiii^ training ofnewly-hired inexperienced woi-kei-s. However,most of these new employees were also used inconversion of plant structures and reclamation ofadjacent laud purciiased for expansion of llicplant.Work progressed slowly through June, and inJuly, as sheet-metal parts and forgings were beingreceived, the Mmiitions Ministry suddeidy orderedproduction of turbo-supei-chargei-s iuilted andexperimental work begun on a tui-bine rocketmotor known as TR. CurreJit production plansaccordingly were di-opped, and this resulted in asurplus of employees and trainees. To absorbthis excess, the Hidaka plant in August took oversome subcontract fabrication of fuselage parts ofthe fighter George for the Naruo plant of theKawanishi Au-craft Industries Co., Ltd., and fab-rication of JZKI bulletproof cockpit-frame wind-shields for the Navy.
In order to obtain needed machine tools for theproduction of the TR turbine rocket motors, theShibayama Steel Woiks in Wakayama was pur-chased in September 1944. This ShibayamaWorks had been engaged in production of slottingmachines, and this acquisition added about 100machine tools, a large amount of stock parts, andabout 50 employees to the Hidaka plant rolls.These machine tools, however, were so old that aconsiderable peiiod of time was required for recon-verting them for TR production.
In October, a labor capacity surplus still re-maining, it was decided to use some labor tofabricate small parts for production of the Sakae20-series engines bemg made at the Tomiokaplant. It was intended to produce 16 differenttypes of small. parts, the largest being the articu-lated connecting rod. Production was to havebeen started in January 1945.From October through December, some ma-chine tools from the Shibayama Works and a fewnew tools of the Miuiition Ministry's allocationweie obtained. The Shibayama tools, however,were unfit for use without extensive reconversionwork expended on them.At the end of December, when experimental
work on the TR turbine rocket motor was nearingcompletion, the Munition Ministry again sudden-ly ordered all work on this project stopped. TheIshikawajima Co. then decided to concentrate allits Hidaka plant facilities on manufacturing parts

for its own Toinioka plant and accordingly gaveup its subcontract sheet-metal work for Kawanishiand bulletproof windshields for the Navy.
Pai'ts production, which had been scheduled tobegin in January 1945 was delayed by typicalJapanese bmiglmg and finally was begun in March.Using the machine tools which had been intendedfor the production of the TR turbme rocket motorsHidaka produced master connecting rods, pro-pellor shafts, reduction gear housings, pinion cages,and other large parts, in addition to the smallerparts originally planned.
After AprO, that part of the Tomioka plantwhich had fabricated master connecting rods,articulated connecting rods, and wristpins, wasmoved to Hidaka. At the same time, since theTomioka plant was suffering from a labor short-age, and also to reduce the number of trainees at
the Hidaka plant, Hidaka shipped ahnost all of itsstudent laborers and a small number of its experi-enced workers, about 350 people in all, to Tomioka.In June, after the above mentioned part of theTomioka plant moved to Hidaka was placed inoperation, these 350 workers were recalled.
In April the Munitions Ministry's dispersaldirective forced Hidaka to abandon completelyall current expansion plans. On 22 May the for-mal dispersal order was received and the Hidakaplant was completely dispersed to the Chuetsu,Tomioka, and Sanuki locations. Duruig thisperiod of dispersal, air attack alerts and attackson nearby installations delayed movement activi-ties to the extent that dispersion to Chuetsu andTomioka was not completed before the end of thewar.
