Some weeks after the Nagasaki bombing, Yank Magazine correspondent Joe McCarthy observed the charred turf from the nose of a U.S. B-17 bomber circling high overhead and filed the attached article concerning all that he saw:
“The destruction of Nagasaki looks nothing like the debris in Cassino or Leghorn. The strange thing here is the utter absence of rubble. You can see a couple of square miles of reddish-brown desolation with nothing left but the outlines of houses, a bit of wall here and half a chimney there. In this area you will see a road, and the road will be completely clean. It is too soon after the bombing for the Japs to have done any cleaning of the roads and you can’t see a single brick or pile of broken plaster or lumber on any street or sidewalk in town.”
