The Manhattan Project Appendix: Key Figures in the Manhattan Project Figure 1. From left: Neils Bohr, Robert Oppenheimer, Richard Feyman, Enrico Fermi [Manhattan, 1997] "We were aware of what it might mean if they beat us to the draw in the development of the atomic bombs" Even before its entrance into the war, the United States had become very concerned with the threat of the Axis powers. Franklin D. Roosevelt received a letter from Albert Einstein on August 2, 1939, which he paid special attention to it. In his letter, Einstein said that a new field of physics had opened up the possibility of, "the construction of bombs... extremely powerful bombs of a new type" [ Stoff , 1991]. Atomic bombs would be capable of inflicting massive damage on an enemy installation. Einstein also said that, "Germany had actually stopped the sale of uranium from Czechoslovakian mines" and "in Berlin...some of the American work on uranium is being repeated" [ Stoff , 1991]. Einstein's last statements were of the most concern to Roosevelt and led him to create a committee to investigate the feasibility of designing and building atomic weapons. On March 9, 1942, Vannevar Bush reported to the President in a letter that the bomb would be more powerful and more easily delivered to a target [ Stoff , 1991]. He also emphasized that the US would become involved in a race with its enemies in development of this new weapon. Concern over Germany developing the atomic bomb before the US was also reflected in the scientific community. These concerns are best illustrated in Oppenheimer's autobiographical sketch where he states, "(w)e [scientists] were aware of what it might mean if they [Germans] beat us to the draw in the development of the atomic bombs" [

84. Manhattan Project Introduction http://www.me.utexas.edu/~uer/manhattan/intro.html

The Manhattan Project Introduction Stoff "The Manhattan Project was a scientific breakthrough, a frantic race for life and death, and a revolution in warfare." The Manhattan Project was the code name for the US effort during World War II to produce an atomic bomb. Although the project took place mainly in New Mexico, it was named after the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, based in New York City, where much of the early research was done [ Moody , 1995]. The project lasted 4 years, between 1942 - 1946, and cost about $1.8 billion. Today, this amount would be equivalent to over $20 billion [ Parshall , 1995]. The project was more than the typical military program to achieve weapons superiority. The Manhattan Project was a scientific breakthrough, a frantic race for life and death, and a revolution in warfare. The project and its controversies took place on a global scale during the worst war in the history of mankind. It had such an impact on our lives, that we should not ignore the history but study it and learn from it. The project produced three bombs: the first bomb, known as "Gadget", was used as a test model; the second bomb, known as "Little Boy", was detonated over the city of Hiroshima; and the final bomb, known as "Fat Man", was detonated over the city of Nagasaki [
