Hiroshima after the bomb

Leslie Carr Dec 17, 2018 2:12 PM

I'm looking for information related to the images that were taken of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombs were dropped. My understanding is that my grandfather, Harry Carr, piloted the plane that took those images, but I'm trying to find the evidence and/or military records to confirm it. Thanks in advance if you're the kind of person that can help me.

Dear Leslie Carr,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Most of the photographs of Hiroshima and Nagasakt after the bombs were dropped are in the custody of the National Archives at College Park - Still Pictures (RDSS). The documentation for these collections may include the names of the photographers. To access these files, please contact RDSS via email at stillpix@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
