DAVE'S DREAM ON THE BOMBING RUN. This 

 photograph of "Dave's Dream," taken from an 

 accompanying photographic plane on Able Day, 

 shows the big B-29 on the actual bombing run, 

 her bomb-bay doors open, shortly before the 

 atomic bomb was released at high altitude above 

 the target array. More than five miles below lie 

 the lagoon and the 93 target ships, void of human 

 life, their only occupants the test animals. Outside 

 the lagoon, at predetermined points of vantage, 

 wait the observer ships, camera men poised, in- 

 strument technicians on the alert, crews assembled 

 topside. Army and Navy Officers and enlisted 

 ment, Congressmen, newspaper men, scientists rub 

 elbows at the rails of their ships.
