Hmmmmm, I had always thought there were only two A-bombs ready to go. I guess a third one was on the way.
I thought there were only two myself. I just watched a History Channel show about the last days of World War II, and they indicated that there was a define plan to drop a third bomb in Ausgust, if the Japanese did not agree to surrender.
I know Truman drafted a letter to the Prime Minister of Great Britain telling him that the U.S. intended to drop an A-Bomb on Tokyo if the Japanese did not surrender, despite British objections. The “Tokyo Bomb” was only in the planning stages, there was no date set for its deployment, but I believe that Truman would have nuked Tokyo before he attempted an invasion of Japan.
That’s because “they didn’t build that”.
I thought there were only two bombs also, so Truman’s threat that “they may expect a reign of ruin from the air the likes of which has never been seen on this earth” was a bluff. Yet it sounds like they did have a 3rd, and then more in the works, so it could have been raining bombs, a rain of ruin.
Regardless, that’s what O has been doing to this country; he has been leading a reign of ruin, the likes of which has never been seen before.
The material was at Mather AFB when the war was called off.
