The Battle of Tinian - The Capture of the Atomic Bomb Island, July-August 1944

The dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and of a second nuclear device on Nagasaki three days later, is known throughout the world. But what is often forgotten is that these missions were only possible following the savage battles to seize the Northern Mariana Islands - which were within the B-29's operational range of Japan.
