Very good--thank you for sharing your find with us. The men did a hell of a job, thank God.

Excellent pictures. What a masculine, manly generation of men. So many didn't make it home (far, far, far, greater amount than the relatively few we've lost in the last three or so years) and yet they all fought on with bravery and distinction. I wish we fought wars like that today! Instead, we now prosecute our soldiers for doing their jobs and we take way too many steps, at our peril, to not have collateral damage. How much collateral damage was there in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Thanks for the pix. Grateful to see them. My father was with the 498th BG on Saipan. I have some original bomb damage assessment pix of the bombing of Japan.
