Even during WW2, the US was kind enough to continue delivering messages to Japan.

Before "Adopt-a-Highway", there was "Adopt-a-Bomb".
"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

"Even though the Americans weren't officially Japanese allies, they nevertheless continued to deliver vast amounts of explosives, incendiaries and some rare heavy metals to the Japanese war industry."

That must have been a pic from when the USA was first within reach of the Japanese mainland.
LeMay quickly switched to this type of incendiary bomb soon after we were within reach.
The results were 10 fold that of nukes.
