The Bombing of Yawata on the night of 15/16 June 1944 marked the beginning of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) strategic bombing campaign against the Japanese home islands during World War II and was the first such raid to employ strategic bombers. The raid was undertaken by 75 Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers staging from bases in China. Only 47 of these aircraft dropped bombs near the raid's primary target, the Imperial Iron and Steel Works at Yawata in northern Kyūshū, and little damage was caused. Five B-29s were lost in accidents during the operation and two were destroyed by Japanese aircraft.

rdfs:comment	Pengeboman Yawata pada malam 15/16 Juni 1944 adalah penyerbuan udara pertama di kepulauan utama Jepang yang dilakukan oleh pesawat United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) pada Perang Dunia II. Penyerbuan tersebut dilakukan oleh 75 pesawat pengebom berat B-29 Superfortress yang dikerahkan dari pangkalan-pangkalan di Tiongkok. Hanya 47 pesawat yang mengebom target utama dalam penyerbuan tersebut, Pabrik Besi dan Baja Kekaisaran di Yawata, utara Kyūshū, dan sedikit kerusakan yang ditimbulkan. Lima pesawat B-29 hilang dalam kecelakaan pada operasi tersebut dan dua pesawat dihancurkan oleh pesawat Jepang. (in) 八幡空襲（やはたくうしゅう）は、第二次世界大戦中の1944年6月16日未明、アメリカ陸軍航空軍第58爆撃団の戦略爆撃機B-29が行った初めての日本本土空襲。九州北部の官営八幡製鐵所を第一目標とし計75機のB-29が出撃、うち47機が八幡市などを爆撃した。製鐵所の被害は極僅かだったが、爆撃は北九州5都市（八幡、小倉、戸畑、門司、若松）におよび、270名以上が犠牲となった。米軍側報告では作戦中の事故で5機のB-29が損失、2機が日本軍機により撃墜とされた。これに対し、日本側報告では撃墜6機（内不確実2機）、撃破7機、日本側被弾機1機と報じられた。目標の八幡製鐵所コークス炉への命中弾はなく、空襲自体は不首尾だったが、同日サイパン島に米海軍の上陸を許したこともあり（サイパン島の戦い）、大本営は八幡空襲の報に衝撃を受けた。一方でアメリカや中国ではこの空襲の成果が大々的に報道された。作戦中B-29の収集した情報によって日本本土の防空体制の脆弱さが明らかとなり、その後の大規模な本土空襲の発端ともなった。八幡市は、1944年8月20日に中国から飛来したB-29によって2度目の空襲を受け、さらに翌1945年8月8日の3度目の空襲（八幡大空襲）ではマリアナ諸島基地発のB-29が焼夷弾爆撃を行い、罹災者数5万2562人、罹災戸数1万4000戸死傷者は約2,500人の壊滅的な被害を被った。 (ja) 八幡空襲（日语：八幡空襲／やはたくうしゅう Yawata Kūshū，英語：Bombing of Yawata）是1944年6月15日夜间到16日凌晨，美國陸軍航空軍从中国境内基地出动75架B-29超级堡垒重型轰炸机，對日本九州北部福岡縣八幡市的空襲行動，这是第二次世界大战期间日本列島首次遭遇战略轰炸机空袭。行动主要目标是八幡市的帝国钢铁厂，只有47架轰炸机朝目标投弹，造成的破坏很小。行动期间美方因事故损失五架轰炸机，另有两架被日方击毁，八幡市内有至少270人因空袭受伤或死亡。此次空袭未能达成目标，但却让日本民众意识到祖国即将战败，美国新闻媒体以誇張手法报导消息。轰炸机收集的情报揭示日本防空体系弱点，此后日本本土反复遭遇盟军空袭并且一直缺乏有效应对措施。1944年8月20日，八幡市再度遭遇中国境内起飞的B-29轰炸机袭击。1945年8月8日，美军从马里亚纳群岛出动B-29轰炸机携带燃烧弹第三次轰炸八幡市，大片城区毁于一旦。 (zh) The Bombing of Yawata on the night of 15/16 June 1944 marked the beginning of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) strategic bombing campaign against the Japanese home islands during World War II and was the first such raid to employ strategic bombers.

(en) Le bombardement de Yahata durant la nuit du 15 au 16 juin 1944 est un raid aérien sur l'archipel japonais conduit par les bombardiers stratégiques de l'United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) durant la guerre du Pacifique. Le raid est mené par 75 bombardiers lourds B-29 Superfortress stationnés sur des bases en Chine. Seuls 47 de ces avions bombardent la cible principale du raid, l'aciérie de Yahata dans la préfecture de Fukuoka au nord du Kyūshū. Ils ne causent que peu de dégâts. Cinq B-29 sont perdus par accident durant l'opération et deux sont détruits par l'aviation japonaise. (fr) Il bombardamento di Yawata, avvenuto nella notte tra il 15 e il 16 giugno 1944, fu la prima incursione aerea condotta sull'arcipelago giapponese da parte dei bombardieri strategici delle United States Army Air Forces durante la seconda guerra mondiale, nonché il primo attacco aereo su suolo nipponico dopo il noto "Doolittle raid" dell'aprile 1942. L'attacco fu eseguito da settantacinque bombardieri pesanti Boeing B-29 Superfortress partiti da alcune basi in Cina, ma solo quarantasette velivoli riuscirono a colpire l'obiettivo principale, le grandi acciaierie situate a Yawata (Kyūshū settentrionale). A dispetto di una difesa poco coordinata, furono inflitti solo danni del tutto trascurabili e al termine dell'incursione cinque B-29 andarono perduti, solo due dei quali a causa della contraere (it)
