Landscape photograph captioned: "Lopez ACME pool 30/8/45. The ruins that are Tokyo: miles upon miles of shattered wreckage greeted the eyes of the first Amer (sic) to enter Tokyo. Above is a typical scene. Damage was much less in the centre of the city and most of the big department stores, having suffered little, were still in operation. Some modern structures suffered no visable damage. Signal Corps radio photo from Manila, 1/9/45. MX 606."
