Tinian and The Bomb

This is the story of a highly secret team of motivated scientists, soldiers and sailors who were deployed from Washington, D.C., the Los Alamos Laboratory (New Mexico), and Wendover Army Air Base (Utah) to North Field (Tinian) in the late spring of 1945 to assemble and to oversee the delivery of atomic bombs to Japan. Their efforts helped bring the Pacific War to its successful conclusion and provided for a lasting peace in the Pacific. They have never received the credit they deserve for the job they did on a distant and isolated island-airbase in the Western Pacific at the peak of the War in the Pacific.
