One of the first indications that they were closing in was the crash of a heavy wooden crate of Cashmere Bouquet soap plunging through the roof of the Omori prison barracks, missing Army Air Forces Major Robert F. Goldsworthy by three feet. “I thought, what a hell of a thing, to live through prison life only to get killed by a case of soap,” he wrote in 2000, in a comment posted to a B-29 website. Rooftop signs at the Omori POW camp alerted B-29 airmen to the number of POWs at the site—including the famous, such as Pappy Boyington—and spelled out the prisoners’ gratitude for the food dropped to them.
