WWII August 1945 Newspaper
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Dramatic coverage by ''The New York Times'' from 8 August 1945, two days after the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Headline reads, ''Atomic Bomb Wiped Out 60 Of Hiroshima; Shock Awed Fliers'' and includes photos of several men of the Enola Gay crew. Content is heavy on reactions to first instance of nuclear warfare; one journalist reflects, ''…although war has ended civilizations, it has never ended civilization…'' 40pp. paper measures 16.5'' x 22.5'' folded. Chipping and toning to edges and separation to left vertical fold. Very good.
