It did NOT mention a bomb but did show a diagram of a planned U-235 electrical generating station. Almost a year before the Peal Harbor attack. It was too fantastic to believe at that time. What a tale, huh? “The Miracle of U-235″ article appeared in the January 1941 Popular Mechanics pages 1 through 5, 149A & 150A.

I'll check it out when I get a chance. Hrm, there seems to be a bug where comments are deleting the related posts. I’ll check it out when I get a chance.

Just before I commented there were 3 links to previous articles. One was about 'the obidient atom'. Now... the links are gone. Is some Heisenberg effect in effect where I can't comment AND link? Dang!

I would have thought the FBI had confiscated and burned all of that particular issue. Prominently mentioned are: U-235 Chain Reaction 15,000 tons of TNT October 1940 is about a year after Roosvelt received the Einstein-Szilard letter. Great find!
