There are over several hundred first generation silver prints and a Kodak camera. The photographs were taken in Guam and Japan and developed by the 9. This unit was mostly unknown until 2016. Within the mixed lot of photographs a 9 X 9 black and white Kodak negative was discovered. This war relic is an image of the post bombing of Hiroshima on August 6. The negative was most likely created with a Fairchild K-20 or K-22 aerial camera. This camera was fitted onto aircrafts such as the Boeing B 29, Douglas A-20, and North American P-51 and F-86. The K-22 yield 9″×9″ or 9″×18″ images using 9+ roll film. The only plane capable of reaching Japan at the time of the bombing was the B-29. It is unclear which plane took the photo, but it was a Boeing F-13A Reconnaissance Super fortress (a modified B-29 bomber) from the 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. There is unverified indication that the “Valiant Lady” may have taken the photo. Its also possible that Enola Gay or The Big Stink took the photo.
