Even if only 3 planes were involved. Never underestimate the psychological and political effects of WMDs.

At one point the Marines wanted to dump some 2000 tons of Mustard gas onto Iwo Jima, a plan that was turned off at the White House level. A three plane chemical raid on any West Coast city would only have better facilitated the annihilation of Japanese civilians and would have been like bringing a stick to a gun fight.
