Read 30 Seconds Over Tokyo when I was a kid and still remember most of it
You have a better memory than I do, but I did read it, from the school library I believe.
Yes, I was in the 9th grade when I read it.
In the 10th grade I read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1964); reread the book about three yearsf ago and then gave it to my son to read.
