FOREWORD
The United States Strategic Bombing Survey was established by tlic Secretary of War on 3 Novem-1944, pursuant to a directive from the late President Roosevelt. Its mission was to conduct antial and expert study of the effects of our aerial attack on Germany, to be used in connection withattacks on Japan and to establish a l)asis for evaluating the importance and potentialities of air
er as an instrument of military strategy, for planning the future development of the United States
d forces, and for determining future economic policies with respect to the national defense. Amary report and some 200 suppoiting reports containing the findings of the Survey in CJermany
been published.
On 15 August 1945, President Ti-uman requested that the Survey conduct a similar study of theof all types of air attack in the war against Japan, submitting reports in duplicate to the Secretary
War and to the Secretary of the Navy. The officers of the Survey during its Japanese phase were:
Franklin D'Olier, Chairman.
Paul H. Nitze, Henry C. Alexander, Vice Chairmen.Harry L. Bowman,J. Kenneth Galbraith,Rensis Likert,
Frank A. McNamee, Jr.,Fred Searls, Jr.,
Monroe E. Spaght,Dr. Lewis R. Thompson,Thoedore P. Wright, Directors.
W^alter Wilds, Secretary.The Survey's complement provided for 300 civilians, 350 officers, and 500 enlisted men. The
ry segment of the organization was drawn from the Army to the extent of 60 percent, and fromNavy to the extent of 40 percent. Both the Army and the Navy gave the Survey all possible assist-
in furnishing men, supplies, transport, and information. The Survey operated from headqvuirtersished in Tokyo early in September 1945, with subheadquarters in Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima andsaki, and with mobile teams operating in other parts of Japan, the islands of the Pacific, and the
c mainland.
It was possible to reconstruct much of wartime Japanese military planning and execution, engage-t by engagement, and campaign by campaign, and to secure reasonably accurate statistics on Japan's
omy and war production, plant by plant, and industry by industry. In addition, studies were
ucted on Japan's over-all strategic plans and the background of her entry into the war, the internal
ssions and negotiations leading to her acceptance of unconditional surrender, the course of health
morale among the civilian population, the effectiveness of the Japanese civilian defense organization,
the effects of the atomic bombs. Separate reports will be issued covering each phase of the study.
The Survey interrogated more than 700 Japanese military, government, and industrial officials.
also recovered and translated many documents which not only have been useful to the Survey, butwill furnish data valuable for other studies. Arrangements have been made to turn over the Siu-
files to the Central Intelligence Grouj), through which they will be available for further examination
distribution.

THE CORPORATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE AIRCRAFT
INDUSTRYduction
he Shoda Engineering Works (Shoda Scisa-a small independent manufacturing com-
of minor importance in the Japanese aircraft
tvy, consisted of a single manufacturing unit
d at Mitaka Township, in the Tokyoture, about 10 miles west of the Imperial
(Appendix A).
hoda pi'odueed cylinder iieads for less than
ercent of all aircraft engines made between1943 and August 1945. Specifically, it cast,
ed, lined, and rough-finished cylinderds for the Homare and Tempu engines.II June and July 1945, after the nearby Musashirks of tlie Nakajima Corporation was de-ed by bombing, Shoda heat-treated (quenched
annealed) connecting rods for Nakajima.g this period about 22,400 connecting rods
thus processed.n the non-aircraft field, Shoda inanufaclureil
us-sized nuts and bolts, 2-horsepower in-combustion engines used for portable
sets, and 13-liorsepower outboard and 40-
epower inboard engines for marine craft.
The company was established on 3 DecemberPrior to July 1942, production was limited
the non-aircraft field mentioned above. In1942 orders were received from the Muni-Ministry to establish a cylinder head casting
in addition to the then existing shops.
truction was completed and work beganthis plant on the first Nakajima order in
1943.
iovernment controls were largely localized.
Engine Section of the Aircraft Production
rd of the Munitions Ministry allocated mate-and production quotas; these details were
nistered by the local Kanto and Shinetsuict Offices of the Munitions Ministry.
or requirements wer(> obtained from theor Section of the Welfare Department.
Organization and Operation
The Shoda Company was individually ownedand operated by Jukichi Shoda. Capitalization,at the time of surrender, was about 4,000,000yen. The plant occupied a site of about 1,234,000square feet, of which 219,000 sc^uare feet wasbuilding area.
Industrial equipment consisted of 451 machines,
of the following categories:
Machine tools 305Electrical equipment 35Pneumatic machinery 32Metallurgical furnaces 55
Testing equipment 24
Employment in the Shoda Company increasedfrom about 800 in January 1943 to 1,850 at the
time of the suirender. These totals include all
employees no detailetl bri'ak-down data for air-craft and non-aircraft operations were available.
However, toward the end of the war, about 32percent of the total employees were engaged in
the manufacture of cylinder heads. Of this
amoiuit, about 28 percent worked on the 1930 to
0730 night shift and 72 percent worked on the
0730 to 1930 day shift.
The use of student labor was begun in April
1944; the proportion averageil about 23 percent
of the total. Soldier labor was used only in the
final 4 months beginning May 1945, varyingfrom 1 to 3 percent of the total employment
(Appendices B and B-1).
The Dispersal Program
Somewhat prior to the Munition Ministry's 4
April 1945 dispersal order to the Japanese aircraft
industry, Shoda had moved 36 sets of machine
tools to the nearby Yamamura Industry Com-pany's plant at Mure, in Mitaka Township.
Cylinder head finishing was carried out there.
Thirty-seven sets of machine tools were moved
to the Jindai Wood Works, at the village of Jindaiin Tokyo Prefectm-e. Macliine-finishing of the

radio set iiitenial combustion engines was donethere.
As a result of the onler of 4 April 1945, Shodapurchased a 60-acre tract of land at Shinkoji,
in Tsurukawa village, about 9 miles to the south(Appeiulix A). Shoda's plans were to move theentire plant to a combined underground-camou-
flaged factory at that location. Constructionwas begun in April, but imtil the surrender, onlythe access road had been repaired, about 100
yards of tunnel dug, and 84 machine tools movedto the dispersal site.
THE AIR ATTACKSAttack on Plant
The Shoda Engineering Works was neither se-lected nor attacked as a primary target. The
plant, however, sustained one air attack, an in-cendiary raid at 2230 hours on 25 May 1945,which was part of an area attack. Two lumbermills were completely burned and two woodwork-ing machines and some semifinished and finishedmaterial stocks were destroyed. The companygymnasium was damaged. However, no partof the company's cylinder head production shopswas hit or otherwise affected.
Attacks on Urban Areas
Attacks against the Tokyo- Yokohama urbanareas increased the difficulties which the companyexperienced in obtaining raw materials, the supplyof which had already begun to be erratic as earlyas January 1944 (Appendix C-1, 2, 3, 4). Short-ages of critical items (aluminum alloys, magne-sium, and copper) were felt by the aircraft indus-try before the air raids on Japan Proper but thedisruption of transportation delaj'ed the delivery
of what supplies existed and precipitated thedecline in production. From January 1944 tothe end of the war, only about 40 percent of therequirements for these items were received byShoda (Table 1).

PRODUCTION STATISTICS
Maximum productive capacity of Homarecylinder heads, from inception of casting opera-
tions in July 1943, rose steadily from 400 per
month until a constant montlJy figure of 4,000was reached in July 1944. Capacity for the
TempuHa23 cylintler head rose from an initial
200 per month in May 1944, to 400 in August1944, far below planned output (Appendix D-1,
2, 3).
Government ordei's for Homare cylinder headswere less than plant capacity until April 1944,
and except for a slight excess demand during thefollowing 3 months, very closely approximated
the capacity thereafter. In the case of the Tempuhead, government demands grossly exceededcapacity of manufacture at all times. In June
and July of 1944, this excess was more than 650percent of plant capacity (Appendix D-2).
Actual production of the Homare head in-creased steadily until July 1944, when a maximumof 4,032 units were made, anil gradually declined
thereafter. Actual production reached the
planned and capacity level in only that 1 month(Appendix D-1). This difference between planned
and actual production was due to (a) failure ofthe Munitions Ministry to provide promised
blowers and melting and drying furnaces, and
(b) shortages in supply of aluminum and alumi-num alloy stocks.
The production project of the Tempu head wasa complete and dismal failure because machinetools and equipment promised by the Ministryof Munitions could not be obtained. This project
accordingly was discontinued after December 1944.The Tempu cylinder heads also were principallyfor trainer planes and due to the increasing needfor larger engines, this factor may have enteredin to bring al)out the rlecision to
abandonits
production.
A contributing factor to production slow-downswas the increasingly frequent air attack alarms.During these alerts, workers sought shelter and
work was suspended.
EVALUATION OF PRE-ATTACKINTELLIGENCE
Joint Target Group information on the ShodaEngineering Works was uncertain and incom-plete. Joint Target Group reported: (n ) traineraircraft and aircraft engines produced by the
8/3/2019 USSBS Report 31, Shoda Engineering Company
9/23
dii Aiicral't Company but, in tlic .saiiic scii-qualidcil this statement by suggesting only
manuraetiirc and subassembly opei'atioiis,
the Mitaka Aircraft Company and Nakajimaperimental Station at this approximate location,
(e) Mitsubishi taking over the Shoda plant.
The following findings were determined to beet, in contrast to the intelligence data
d above: (a) No trainer aircraft, aircraftes, or subassemblies were produced by
a. (b) Mitaka Aircraft Company was anpendent organization, located adjacently to
Shoda plant. Air Photo of Joint Targetup Information Sheet shows both companies
ed as one unit, (c) There was no Nakajimaerimental Station located at or near this site.
Mitsubishi had no interests in the Shodaipany.
Although this Joint Target Group Informationwas incorrect in its data as to exact location
activities of Shoda, no serious omission re-
d since it correctly analyzed Shoda as oc-ying a relatively unimportant position in the
aft industry.
