Summary

Description
English: DAVE'S DREAM ON THE BOMBING RUN. This photograph of "Dave's Dream," taken from an accompanying photographic plane on Able Day, shows the big B-29 on the actual bombing run, her bomb-bay doors open, shortly before the atomic bomb was released at high altitude above the target array. More than five miles below lie the lagoon and the 93 target ships, void of human life, their only occupants the test animals. Outside the lagoon, at predetermined points of vantage, wait the observer ships, camera men poised, instrument technicians on the alert, crews assembled topside. Army and Navy Officers and enlisted ment, Congressmen, newspaper men, scientists rub elbows at the rails of their ships.
