		Sweeney, the only person to fly both atomic bomb missions over Japan in 1945, wrote this account because "I [felt] outraged and betrayed when...our national museum, the Smithsonian exhibition,...attempted to change the history of the war." The Smithsonian exhibition initially questioned whether dropping of the bomb was justified.
		Because Sweeney claims to have "hitched his star" to Col. Paul Tibbets, the mission commander and pilot of the Enola Gay, this volume serves to raise his visibility as second in command.
		Sweeney states his case firmly and directly - without the bomb, Japan was willing to fight to the end; troop mortality estimates for a planned invasion of Japan were astronomical.

	"War's End" by Major Gen. Charles W. Sweeney
		However, while Sweeney was flying over Kukora looking for a good place to drop the A-Bomb and while dodging enemy flack and enemy fighters, Hopkins called out on the radio, "Where are you, Chuck." The Japanese, of course, could hear this too.
		Charles Sweeney who dropped the A-Bomb on Nagasaki, and Paul Tibbets, who dropped the A-Bomb on Hiroshima, were very experienced pilots and probably had more hours flying the B-29 than anyone in the Air Force.
		The reason for this switch is that Sweeney's airplane had been flown when the A-Bomb was dropped Hiroshima and contained all the scientific instruments needed to measure the blast.
