Title -  Atomic Cloud over Hiroshima, Japan

 

Description -  The bombing of Hiroshima, Japan.  At the time this photo was made, smoke billowed 20,000 feet above Hiroshima while smoke from the burst of the first atomic bomb had spread over 10,000 feet on the target at the base of the rising column.  Six planes of the 509th Composite Group, participated in this mission.  Bad weather would disqualify a target, as the scientists insisted on a visual delivery. The primary target was Hiroshima, secondary was Kokura, and tertiary was Nagasaki.
