Paul Coates, Dec. 21, 1960

 

Dec. 21, 1960: The Mirror publishes the second part of a profile on Maj. Claude Robert Eatherly, a B-29 pilot whose life unraveled after the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima. Eatherly didn’t drop the bomb, he was reporting on the cloud cover that day. But he blamed himself for the destruction. And Paul Coates has an update on the Brink family, which was covered in the 1947project way back in 2005! ALSO Family with 11 children loses battle for home  And here

I'm truly sorry for Major Eatherly. Obviously he let this get to him, and mental help did not good, so he suffered until he died.
