Prologue
From 'Ruin From The Air' by G. Thomas & M. Witts(1979)

"I dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Until now I thought I knew everything about that mission. Then I read this book. Not only did it take me back to that most exciting time leading up to the atomic age, but it opened my eyes on almost every page. Time and again I was jolted by some new fact that the authors had discovered. Their revelations about the Japanese side of things will startle everybody. For thirty years there has been controversy over Hiroshima. Now it can end. This book tells exactly how it was." Paul W. Tibbets
