Summary

Description

Mushroom cloud over Hiroshima (Q55435471)

English: At the time this photo was made, smoke billowed 20,000 feet above Hiroshima while smoke from the burst of the first atomic bomb had spread over 10,000 feet on the target at the base of the rising column. Six planes of the 509th Composite Group, participated in this mission; one to carry the bomb Enola Gay, one to take scientific measurements of the blast The Great Artiste, the third to take photographs Necessary Evil the others flew approximately an hour ahead to act as weather scouts, 08/06/1945. Bad weather would disqualify a target as the scientists insisted on a visual delivery, the primary target was Hiroshima, secondary was Kokura, and tertiary was Nagasaki.
Українська: У той час, коли було зроблено цю фотографію, дим клубився на висоті 6 кілометрів 96 метрів над Хіросімою, а дим від вибуху першої атомної бомби поширився на цілі біля основи колони, що піднімалася, на висоту-вище 3 кілометрів 48 метрів. У цій місії брали участь шість літаків 509-ї зведеної групи; один, щоб нести бомбу Енола Гей (літак), один, щоб провести наукові вимірювання вибуху Великий Художник (літак), третій, щоб зробити фотографії Необхідне зло (літак) інші летіли приблизно на годину вперед, щоб діяти як розвідники погоди, 06 серпня 1945 року. Погана погода дискваліфікувала б ціль, оскільки вчені наполягали на візуальній доставці, основною ціллю була Хіросіма, другорядною — Кокура, а третьою — Нагасакі.
Русский: В то время, когда была сделана эта фотография, дым клубился на высоте 6 километров 96 метров над Хиросимой, а дым от взрыва первой атомной бомбы распространился на высоту более 3 километров 48 метров над целью у подножия восходящей колонны. В вылете участвовали шесть самолётов 509-й смешанной группы; один должен нести бомбу Энола Гэй (самолёт), один — проводить научные измерения взрыва Необходимое Зло (самолёт), третий — фотографировать Необходимое Зло (самолёт) остальные вылетели примерно на час вперёд в качестве разведчиков погоды, 06 августа 1945 года. Плохая погода дисквалифицировала бы цель, поскольку учёные настаивали на визуальной доставке, основной целью была Хиросима, вторичной была Кокура, а третичной была Нагасаки.
