Dawn of a Thousand Suns - Bockscar Over Nagasaki
393rd Bombardment Squadron, 509th Composite Group B29-45-MO "Bockscar" Drops the Fat-Man Atomic Weapon on 9 August 1945.
On August 9th, 1945 at 29,500 feet over the Urakami Valley, near the city of Nagasaki, the second act of atomic age unfolded. The primary target had been Kokura, Japan, but smoke and haze from the previous night's raid on the neighboring city of Yawata obscured the city and saved it from annihilation.

Sweeney issued the order for only one pass on Nagasaki, their fuel dangerous low before they would have to head for Okinawa.

I agree with Ken here, this is a great, and powerful painting.To me, this second atomic bomb drop was even more tragic than the first. You would think one would be enough. Terrible that it took this second bomb, as well as the Soviet atttack in Manchuria, to finally convince the Emperor to end the war.
