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.
