Linschitz was "A scientist who directed a team working on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos N.M. Henry Linschitz helped design and build the atomic bombs the United States dropped on Japan at the end of World War II and then he dedicated himself to persuading people that nuclear war should never be repeated." Boston Globe obit Dec 2014.<br/><br/>It is also inscribed on the flyleaf by Gerold Tenney Edith S. Tenney and Hester Babcock xT-4 with happy new year greetings January 1946. Gerold Tenney and Henry Linschitz were part of the Explosives Division at Los Alamos in the 1944-45 period. Gerold H. Tenney was Group X-1E Leader Charge Inspection. Henry Linschitz was Group X-1B Leader Terminal Observations. Edith Tenney was one of a group of women working at Los Alamos during this period - one reference has her listed as a nurse. Ms. Hester Babcock was issued a security badge at Los Alamos but a quick search turned up little more. The men involved with the Manhattan Project seemed to receive much more recognition for the work they did than the women or support staff something that ought to be rectified in this writer's opinion.
