Jack Aeby

Jack Aeby (born 1945) is an engineer most famous for having taken one of the few surviving well-exposed color photographs of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. While many color photographs of the Trinity detonation were made, most were badly overexposed or damaged due to the fireball's tendency to blister and solarize the film. Aeby was assigned to the Special Engineer Detachment at the time his snapshot was taken.
