FOREWORDUnited States Strategic Bombing Surveyestablished by the Secretary of War on 15

1944, pursuant to a directive from thePresident Roosevelt. Its mission was to con-an impartial and expert study of the effects

aerial attack on Germany, to be used inwith air 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 for

future economic policies with respectnational defense. A summaiy report aiul

200 supporting reports containing the find-of the survey in Germany have been15 August 1945, President Truman requestedthe survey conduct a similar study of theof all types of air attack in the war againstsubmitting reports in duplicate to theof War and to the Secretary of the Navy.

The survey's complenuMit jjrovidcd foi' iiOOcivilians, 350 officers, and 500 etdisted men. Themilitary segment of the organization was drawnfrom tlie Army to the extent of (iO percent, andfrom the Navy to the extent of 40 percent. Boththe Army and the Navy gave the survey all pos-sible assistance in furnishing men, supplies, trans-port, and information. The survey operated fromheadquaiters established in Tokyo early in Sep-tember 1945, with subheadquarters in Nagoya,Osaka, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, and with mobileteams operating in other parts of Japan, theislands of the Pacific, and the Asiatic mainland.

It was possible to reconstruct much of wartimeJapanese military planning 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 industry by industry. In addition,studies were conducted on Japan's over-all stra-tegic plans and the background of her entry intothe war, the internal discussions and negotiationsleading to her acceptance of unconditional sur-render, the course of health and morale among thecivilian population, tlie effectiveness of the Japa-nese civilian defense organization, and the eft'ectsof the atomic bombs. Separate reports will beissued covering each phase of the study.The survey interrogated more than 700 Japa-

nese military, government, and industrial officials.It also recovered and translated many documentswhich not only have been useful to the survey, butalso will 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.

NISSAN AUTOMOBILE COMPANYCORPORATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTIONinto the aircraft engine field in 104:!,

Nissan Automobile Co. (Nissan Jidoslia K K)sixth in engine production in tlie Japanesefor the years 1944 and 1945.principal ])lant of the Nissan Automobile

was located on reclaimed land in Yokohamaharbor in Tokyo Bay, about 5,000 feet westmouth of the Tsurumi River and aboutfeet northeast of the Yokohama harbOr

wharves.August 1943, because of the need to increase

rate of production of the Ha-11, a four-cylinder100-horsepower engine, the Japanese Gov-ordered the company to begin productionengine. Since the Nissan Automobile

was one of the two largest automotive pro-in the Empire, the plant at Yokohama was

-cquipped to begin this new production, andwere taken at that time to convert part ofYokoham a plan t to aircraft engine

of the personnel who formerly had workedengines were diverted to this newand one of the motor assembly buildings was

From August 1943 until March 1944were made but complete assemblies were

produced.

Beginning in March 1944 and continuing untilDecember 1944, (he plant [jiodiiced ap[)r()ximatcly100 engines monthly, in January 1945 the air-craft division of the Nissan Automobile Co.moved to its newly constructed plant at Yoshi-wara, in Fuji-(iun, Shizuoka j)refecture, nc^ar thecoast, midway between Tokyo and Nagoya(appendix A).This new plant was built during the last 6

months of 1944, and under ideal conditions it wasplanned to produce about 2,000 engines monthly.From February 1945 until August 1945 the newplant averaged a little over 100 per month. Con-cerned with the production of only a single productand ably staffed by engineers and laborers whowere familiar with low-horsepower in-line auto-mobile engines, the plant doubtl(>ssly would haveopei'ated at peak capacity had not the air attackin July 1945 interrupted production.

EMPLOYEESFrom August 1943, when production of aircraft

engines first began, until July 1944, there was nodistinction on the company rolls between auto-motive and aircraft division workers, thereforedetailed information was not available. Peakemployment was reached in July 1945 when3,527 workers were employed at the Yoshiwaraplant (table 1).

the Xissan Automobile officials plaimed to citinue oi)erations in the remaining concrete buiings at the Yoshiwara plant. Manufacturesmall parts was dispersed, beginning 1 Febru;1945, to eight different locations, but it was plantto continue final assembly at Yoshiwara.

In dispersal, the already extensive buildingfsulK't)ntractors were utilized (table 2).
