Item Details
Description
[ATOMIC TESTING]. “The Hour Glass” Newsletter and Calendar Page. Kwajalein Island: Sunday, 9 June 1946 and July 1946. Printed two-page newsletter (on one leaf) and one-page printed calendar for July 1946 with “cheesecake” scantily-clad woman (on one leaf). Both approximately 332 x 204 mm. Both have central horizontal creases, both are toned, rubbed, newsletter has staple-holes at upper left corner and occasional marginal pencil notes. Rare artifacts from the atomic bomb tests at the Marshall Islands. The newsletter has several articles, including “Admiral Blandy Plans Third Atom Test” (this test was eventually canceled due to the high radiation created by the second test), and “WXLG,” a small notice about a local radio show on the subject: “Will contact with the atomic cloud on able day [“Able” was the first atomic test, held the following month after this newsletter was published] cause sterility?”
