Stationed on Guam around the turn of the century, I visited Tinian a few times. The beach where they unloaded the devices from the USS Indianapolis onto the island. The bomb pits they used to lower the A-bombs so they could drive the B-29s over them to load them are filled in but still there. The 4 runways on the island are still there as are relics of the war that havent been reclaimed by the jungle. It would have been a sight for sure to see and hear B-29s roaring around!
THANKS for those pictures FRiend, I envy you being able to actually visit and see that history, and good to see the Nagasaki bomb preparation site commemorated (interestingly enough, in 1985 during the Reagan Administration), that should rightly be consider ‘holy ground’ so far as I’m concerned.
Thanks again and have a good weekend.
