Link between atomic bombing and Dominican Order

On Wednesday this blog remembered the USA unleashing the atomic bomb in Japan in 1945.

A reader contacted this blog with the following story.

An American Dominican, visiting Ireland between 1958 and 1964, gave a lecture to Dominican students in Tallaght.

The American Dominican, whose name is not available, was a member of the US Air Force in 1945 and was a crew member of one of the aircraft involved in the atomic bombing in Japan.

On being discharged from the US Air Force he joined the Dominican Order.
