Eyewitnesses Tell Os Ist Atomic Raid Tremendous Block Cloud Covers City Guam, Aug. B—(UP)—Here8 —(UP)—Here are the eye-witness stories ,bf the men who dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan: Col. Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., 36 of Miami, pilot of the Superfortress Enola Gay. “We selected Hiroshim as the target when we made the landfall. There was no opposition, conditions were clear and we dropped the bomb virtually at 9:15 a.m. “Only Captain Parsons, bombardier Maj. Thomas W. Ferebee of Mocksville, N. C., and myself knew what dropped- Others only knew it was a special mission. “We knew immediately that we had to get the hell out of there and made a sharp turn in less than 30 seconds to get broadside tq the target. “Then—it was hard to believe what we saw. “Below us, rising rapidly, was a tremendous black cloud. Nothing was visible where only minutes before the outline of the city with its streets and buildings and waterfront piers were clearly apparent. “it happened so fast we could not see anything and could only feel the heat from the flash and the concussion from the blast. “There were a couple of sharp slaps against the airplane. It felt like a close burst of flak. I yelled a warning to the crewmen, but we are all okay.” Capt. William Parsons of Santa Fe, N. M., one of the designers of the bomb, who went along as “weaponeer repairer” to see that the bomb worked:

“The bomb resting in the bomb bay looked like the final test one we exploded less than a month ago—July 16 —in a remote corner of the Alamogordo, N. M., bombing range. “I had a very personal interest in the mission. We knew when we started that success could be only be measured in the first battle delivery on Japan. "We knew it was worth a lot in terms of shortening the war. When the bomb fell away, we began to put as much distance between us and the ball of fire whjch we knew was coming, as quickly as possible. “There was a terrific flash of light—even in the daytime. Visual shock was apparent from several miles. “That was the first indication I had that the bomb worked. Each man said a ‘my God!’ .

“What had been Hiroehima was going up in a mountain of smoke. “First I could see a mushroom of boiling dust—apparently with some debris in it —up to 20.000 feet. The boiling continued three or four minutes as I watched. “Tlien a white cloud piumini rJi upwards from the center to sonnw 40,000 feet. An angry dust cloud spread all around the city. “There were some fires on the fringes of the city, apparently .< burning as buildings crumbled and the gas maips broke. “I knew what the Japs were in for, but I felt no particular emotion about it. , “Last month in the New Mexb, co desert, when we set off S’ facsimile bomb suspended from a tower, it fused the sand quiet a radius because it genef\, ated heat like something in the Stellar regions.
