     Part 3: Hiroshima Collection

677. Military Clothing from victim 1,700 meters from the hypocenter. Minoru Tomita (24 at the time) was on a railway crossing on his way to Yokokawa Station, 1,700 meters from the hypocenter. He was accommodated at a nearby elementary school with very serious burns. This military uniform was sent to his parents' home by a nurse who thought he would die. He is still alive and well.
678. Lunch box 500 meters from the hypocenter. Its contents of boiled peas and rice, a rare feast at the time, were completely carbonized.
679. Geta (wooden clog) found 600 meters from the hypocenter.
680. Yoshio Hamada (26 at the time) was at Army Division Headquarters, 700 meters from the hypocenter. His left hand, which was hanging out of a window when the bomb fell, was burned by thermal radiation. His injury resulted in an abnormal growth of fingernails on his left hand. Even today he suffers from this continual abnormal growth. As the nails contain blood vessels, they cannot be trimmed without bleeding.
681. Kengo Futagawa (59 at the time) was crossing the Kannon Bridge (1,600 meters from the hypocenter) by bicycle on his way to do fire prevention work. He jumped into the river, terribly burned. He returned home, but died on August 22, 1945.
682. Melted Image of the Buddha
683. Student Uniform. Akio Tsukuda (13 at the time) was engaged in fire prevention work about 800 meters from the hypocenter. His father found his school uniform hanging on a granch of a tree on August 8, 1945. His body was not found.
684. Hair. Hiroko Yamashita (18 at the time) was at home. 800 meters from the hypocenter. She and her six-year-old brother were caught under the house as it collapsed. After rescuing her brother, she sought refuge elsewhere in the fire-ravaged town. On August 21, her younger brother died. Around August 25, when her mother combed her hair, all of it fell out with only three strokes.
685. Melted Sake bottles.
686. Mitsuyo Furukawa (35 at the time) was in her garden (1,600 meters from the hypocenter) watering the vegetables. Although she was badly burned on her chest and arms, she wandered around the scorched land for a week, looking for Mieko, her eldest daughter, who had been mobilized for fire prevention work at Tsurumi-cho. This is the dress she was wearing then.
687. Knee Trousers. Jiro Mitsuda (12 at the time) was on his way to school, 1,200 meters from the hypocenter. He was burned on the upper half of his body and on his legs. On returning home, he helped to fight a fire. Five days after the bombing, he breathed his last, saying, "It's dard. Please put on the light...I need water. Buy me some ice cream...."
688. Binoculars. Masami Tsuchiya (25 at the time), a second lieutenant, was in the First Army Hospital (900 meters from the hypocenter) for an appendectomy. On August 7, a corpsman found Masami's dead body, part skeleton. He was identified only by the name on the towel in his hand. He was scheduled to leave the hospital that day.
689. Pieces of Window Glass. Yoshi Fujikawa (30 at the time) was at home, 1,500 meters from the hypocneter. She was caught under the building, and numerous pieces of glass had pierced her all over her body. She has several operations since 1946 to remove the glass. (The rectangular size is 2.2 cm x 0.7 cm.)
690. Water Bottle. Yoshiko Kitamura (16 at the time) was mobilized to do fire prevention work in Zakoba-cho (1,200 meters from the hypocenter). Her body was not found. Only this water bottle was recovered.
691. Leather Belt. Takao Nakamura (14 at the time) was doing fire prevention work with other mobilized students 900 meters from the hypocenter. On August 7 his mother found his dead body just before it was to be cremated. Although the left half of his body was badly burned and full of sores, he was identified from a patch on his right trouser leg. The belt he wore was a memento of his father, who had died in action on Iwo Jima.
692. Fountain Pen. Tetsuo Kawakami (33 at the time) was walking on his way to the Chugoku Newspaper Company, where he worked, 1,300 meters from the hypocenter. Seriously burned on the front of his body, his skin peeled, and only his underpants and a belt remained on him. This fountain pen was clinging to his burned skin.
693. Monpe (Women's Work Pants). Kimiko Nishimaru (15 at the time) was working in communication services under the Student Mobilizaion Order at the army's district headquarters, 800 meters from the hypocenter. Badly burned over her whole body, she crawled home and received treatment from her parents. She died, however, on August 12, 1945.
694. Suitcase. Tadayori Kihara (50 at the time) was at the Kyobashi Bridge, 1,200 meters from the hypocenter, on a bicycle with this suitcase. Unable to stand the heat, he jumped into the rive to cool off. After being treated at a friend's house, he returned home. He died in 1967.
695. First-Aid Kit. Mariko Fujii (16 at the time) was doing fore prevention work 1,000 meters from the hypocenter. After a desperate search by her father, only her first-aid kit was found. In it were medicines and diapers for her younger brother. Her body was not found.
696. Damaged Lens with One Frame. Although the body of Moto Mosoro (54 at the time) was not found, a part of her burned head was discovered on September 6, one month after the atomic bombing, at a place 1,500 meters from the hypocenter. This was taken from an eye socket.
697. Nagasaki Cloud, August 9, 1945. The fierce blast wind, heat rays reaching several thousand degrees, and deadly radiation generated by the explosion crushed, burned and killed everything in sight and reduced this entire area to a barren field of rubble.

VB-5 painted individual plane numbers on the engine cowling, as seen here. Scouting Squadron Five (VS-5) planes had the numbers on the wing leading edge.\
772. USS Yorktown (CV-5). In Dry Dock # 1 at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, 29 May 1942, receiving urgent repairs for damage received in the Battle of Coral Sea. She left Pearl Harbor the next day to participate in the Battle of Midway. USS West Virginia (BB-48), sunk in the 7 December 1941 Japanese air attack, is being salvaged in the left distance.
773. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Scene on board USS Yorktown (CV-5), shortly after she was hit by three Japanese bombs on 4 June 1942. Dense smoke is from fires in her uptakes, caused by a bomb that punctured them and knocked out her boilers.
774. Battle of Midway, June 1942. USS Yorktown (CV-5) is hit on the port side, amidships, by a Japanese Type 91 aerial torpedo during the mid-afternoon attack by planes from the carrier Hiryu, 4 June 1942. Photographed from USS Pensacola (CA-24). Yorktown is heeling to port and is seen at a different aspect than in other views taken by Pensacola, indicating that this is the second of the two torpedo hits she received. Note very heavy anti-aircraft fire.
775. Battle of Midway, June 1942. USS Yorktown (CV-5) being abandoned by her crew after she was hit by two Japanese Type 91 aerial torpedoes, 4 June 1942. USS Balch (DD-363) is standing by at right. Note oil slick surrounding the damaged carrier, and inflatable life raft being deployed off her stern.
776. Soryu (Japanese Aircraft Carrier, 1935-1942). Running trials in January 1938.
777. Soryu Japanese Aircraft Carrier, 1935-1942). View of the ship's wake from the after end of the boat stowage deck, while making nearly 35 knots on speed trials in November 1937. Note underside of the flight deck above, heavy supporting brace between the main and flight decks, and safety netting around the flight deck edges.
778. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu circles while under high-level bombing attack by USAAF B-17 bombers from the Midway base, shortly after 8AM, 4 June 1942. This attack produced near misses, but no hits.
779. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Diorama by Norman Bel Geddes, depicting the attack by USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Yorktown (CV-5) dive bombers on the Japanese aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga and Soryu in the morning of 4 June 1942. The diorama was created during World War II on the basis of information then available. It is therefore somewhat inaccurate in scope and detail. This angle of view depicts Soryu (attacked by Yorktown aircraft) in the middle distance, with Kaga and Akagi (both attacked by Enterprise aircraft) as the closer two burning ships.
780. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Diorama by Norman Bel Geddes, depicting the attack by USS Yorktown (CV-5) and USS Enterprise (CV-6) dive bombers on the Japanese aircraft carriers Soryu, Akagi and Kaga in the morning of 4 June 1942. The diorama was created during World War II on the basis of information then available. It is therefore somewhat inaccurate in scope and detail. This angle of view is essentially the reciprocal of that shown in Photo 779. It depicts Soryu (attacked by Yorktown aircraft) in the center foreground, with Kaga and Akagi (both attacked by Enterprise aircraft) as the two most distant burning ships. The burning ship at far right is a light cruiser, which had been erroneously reported to have been hit.
781. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Diorama by Norman Bel Geddes, depicting the attack by USS Nautilus (SS-168) on a burning Japanese aircraft carrier during the early afternoon of 4 June 1942, as seen through the submarine's periscope. Nautilus thought she had attacked Soryu, and that her torpedoes had exploded when they hit the target. Most evidence, however, is that the ship attacked was Kaga, and that the torpedoes failed to detonate. The ship shown in this wartime diorama does not closely resemble either of those carriers.
782. Hiryu (Japanese Aircraft Carrier, 1937-1942). Running speed trials on 28 April 1939.
783. Battle of Midway, June 1942. Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryu maneuvers to avoid three sticks of bombs dropped during a high-level attack by USAAF B-17 bombers, shortly after 8AM, 4 June 1942.

A Douglas SBD-3 "Dauntless" scout bomber (Bureau # 4542), of USS Enterprise's Bombing Squadron Six (VB-6), is parked on board USS Yorktown (CV-5) after landing at about 1140 hrs on 4 June 1942. This plane, damaged during the attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga that morning, landed on Yorktown as it was low on fuel. It was later lost with the carrier. Note damage to the horizontal tail and dual stripes painted on the fin.
808. Battle of Midway, June 1942. A Douglas SBD-3 "Dauntless" scout bomber (Bureau # 4542), of USS Enterprise's Bombing Squadron Six (VB-6), on USS Yorktown (CV-5) after landing at about 1140 hrs on 4 June 1942. This plane, damaged during the attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga that morning, landed on Yorktown as it was low on fuel. It was later lost with the carrier. Note damage to the horizontal tail.
809. Battle of Midway, June 1942. A Douglas SBD-3 "Dauntless" scout bomber warming up on USS Yorktown, in the late morning of 4 June 1942. It is Number 17 of "Scouting" Squadron Five (the temporarily redesignated Bombing Squadron Five), but was apparently not one of ten "VS"-5 planes launched on a scouting mission shortly before noon on 4 June. Another of the squadron's SBDs succeeded in locating Hiryu, the only Japanese aircraft carrier of the Midway striking force that was still operational. The next plane, at right, is "VS"-5's Number 4, which did fly the scouting mission.
810. Battle of Midway, June 1942. A Grumman F4F-4 "Wildcat" fighter (Bureau # 5244) takes off from USS Yorktown (CV-5) on combat air patrol, during the morning of 4 June 1942.
