Mr. Shigeaki Mori, a prominent Japanese historian and a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, observed the 80th anniversary of the B-24 Lonesome Lady crash in Ikachi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, July 28, 2025. The event served as a remembrance for Japanese and American causalities from two different events in the same region on the same day in 1945. Following Lonesome Lady’s crash, eight American prisoners of war were detained, six of whom later lost their lives in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
