Nagasaki as viewed from the air about 4 weeks after the Americans dropped the bomb. The photo was taken by Arthur Vidich and is a truly rare image of one of the most gruesome events in world history. It is believed to be the one of first photos taken of the devastation.
As a procurement officer for the Marine Corps, Art was responsible for buying supplies and services in the Nagasaki Area. He arranged for the plane, pilot and himself to fly over the city to document the devastation.
Photo taken by Vidich in September 1945.
