[edit]

I reverted the change from "district" back to "neighborhood" with regard to Azumada and Maebata. The Japanese suffix "-chiku" 地区 is usually translated as "district" (and there are many in Tokyo or Nagoya, for example), while the suffix "-cho" 町 is often translated as "village" or "town". Because it's strange to think of a town or a village inside a city, and because the areas mentioned aren't really "subdivisions", I chose the word "neighborhood".

I couldn't find any photos of the Toyohashi Air Raid, exactly, so I attached a photo of B-29s over Tokyo (the same type of bomber that attacked Toyohashi. If anybody has any other suggestions, I'm happy to listen. Boneyard90 (talk) 21:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
