From the Nuclear Age comes this incredibly rare, 21" x 18" book, which was presented to those who worked on the Manhattan Project or were involved in the dropping of the bombs. It consists of incredible, huge photos of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, taken by the 20th Air Force 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. These pre-strike, strike, and post-strike mosaics and pinpoints of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki capture the sheer magnitude and destructive power of the atomic bomb. Exceptional resolution! The book includes maps and statistical summaries and is in EX condition. One of only two we know to exist.
