The picture you ran from V-J day, complete with Knoxville Journal headlines, looks to be one of a series of photographs Ed Westcott took that evening of celebrations in Oak Ridge’s Jackson Square. Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was a secret city where the original Manhattan Project headquarters were located and where four secret facilities produced components for both the Fat Man and Little Boy atom bombs. At its peak during the war, Oak Ridge was home to 75,000 workers and their families.
To my knowledge Ed was the only employee allowed to take photographs in Oak Ridge during the war, and pretty much all the government photographs from that period in were taken by Ed. He settled in Oak Ridge, continued taking pictures for decades, and died there last year at age 97. Ed was a real gentleman and an underappreciated chronicler of the great Manhattan Project.
