A tall column of smoke billows 20,000 feet above Hiroshima, Japan, after the first atomic bomb strike by American forces on Aug. 6, 1945. A cloud of smoke 10,000 feet in diameter covers much of the city at the base of the column. This picture was made by Bob Caron, tail gunner of the Enola Gay, the B-29 aircraft that dropped the bomb.
