August 06, 1945

THE ASHEVILLE TIMES--EXTRA, North Carolina, Aug. 6, 1945 

* Atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan
* World War II ending - surrender nears


A notable 3 line banner head: "WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL BOMB, DEVELOPED AT OAK RIDGE, TENN., LOOSED AGAINST JAP HOMELAND" with subhead: "New Atomic Bomb 2,000 Times More Destructive Than Old Blockbusters".
The ftpg. also has 2 photo of the facility at Oak Ridge where the bomb was developed. Mention of Oak Ridge is that it is just 100 miles from Asheville, hence almost "local" interest.
Complete in 12 pages, some foxing, mild fold & margin wear, generally good.
