About this artwork

In the run up to a bombing raid, it is common practice for mechanics or aviators to "sign" the bombs before they are loaded onto the plane. Their short messages - "with love", " best wishes"- are addressed to those about to be bombed. This was the case with "Fat Boy", the bomb signed by American army engeneers days before the bombing of Nagasaki.
