A big selection of the horrible though beautiful nuclear tests.
There is the story about the first 4 pictures.
We can see the explosion of the first H bomb.
The tests were photographied in French Polynesia in 1968.
The bomb was very powerful: 2.6 megatons.
It was something huge.

The pilot of the bomber from which the first atomic bomb was dropped over Japan during the Second World War has died today at the age of 92.

Paul Tibbets was the pilot commanding the B-29 aircraft, also known as Enola Gay, from which the five-ton atomic bomb also known by the nickname "Little Boy" was dropped over the town of Hiroshima. This event took place in 1945 and was closely followed by the total capitulation of Japan.
