NAGASAKI — The Japan Map Center has found 29 frames of negatives of aerial photographs of Nagasaki taken by the U.S. military a day after it dropped an atomic bomb on the city in 1945, in a discovery expected to help reveal the immediate effects of the nuclear weapon attack.

The pictures, taken by a U.S. reconnaissance plane flying over the devastated city Aug 10, 1945, were found at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. They are believed to be the first aerial photos of Nagasaki taken a day after the bombing to be made public. The oldest such photos, taken Aug 12, are currently kept by the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, the map company said. (Kyodo News)
