5332HIROSHIMA. An archive of 22 original aerial photographs of Japan at the end of World War II; seven of them are marked “Hiroshima†on the verso. The photos were likely taken by a bomber crewman who flew over Hiroshima and other parts of Japan. The near-total flattening of Hiroshima is obvious in some images and there are images of horrific destruction perhaps from firebombing. Each image measures 4 ½†x 4â€. Some has some minor scuffing and loss to the image and all have mounting remnants to the verso from where they were once attached to an album. unknown books

2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
