May 24, 2016

This is "The Atomic Bomb in Living Memory" Part 1. Charles Scamahorn is 80 years old. He lived across the street from where the atomic bomb was developed. After the 2nd World War, he refused to carry an atomic bomb as part of his duty as an air force bomber pilot. Listen to Ahonu & Aingeal Rose interview Charles and extract sometimes frightening memories of youth during WW2, and his later meeting with Eleanor Roosevelt and the developer of the atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer himself.
