Albuquerque Nuclear Weapons Museum, 8/2003

Albuquerque (Abqq) is pronounced aa-oo-boo-kurr-key.
If it were not for America, I would have grown up in Communism, my father could have been martyred for his faith. I felt grateful.

The B29 bomber. I was 4 or 5 when folks would shout "Here comes the B29's!" The Americans would bomb the Japanese barracks, but would not bomb any place where the POWs are. Some stray bomb did hit some civilian areas, and some apartments fell, killing quite many

This is the navigation gadget on the B29, which enabled them not having the need to dive-bomb, but let the bombs come down on a parabolic trajectory. Remember there were no computer chips in these machines.

Here is actual size model of the "fat man", plutonium bomb at Nagasaki. I grieve for the thousands of Japanese killed there. But the bomb saved America and China from losing many thousands more lives.

Other nuclear missiles:

Important scientists that created the bomb. I recognized only Oppenheimer and Teller. After WWII, many of us boys aspired to become nuclear scientists.

Of course there is a big picture of Einstein, who discovered that mass can be destroyed to produce nuclear energy, E = m c².

There were several pictures of Madame Curie and pages of her biography. She was before Einstein, discovered radioactivity, and a few nuclear particles, I think.

Here is Hitler inspecting his troops. There were photos of Tojo, the Japanese war monger.

Picture of the first human submarine. I think it is made of wood, by the Egyptians or others.
