**Walter Goodman** served as a physicist and technical specialist on **Project Alberta**, the highly classified unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces’ **509th Composite Group**, responsible for overseeing the assembly, loading, and delivery of atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Goodman’s expertise was vital in ensuring the successful deployment of these complex weapons, working alongside military personnel, engineers, and fellow scientists under intense secrecy and historical pressure.

**Project Alberta** was the final operational component of the Manhattan Project, stationed on **Tinian Island** in the Pacific. Comprised of select military officers, ordnance experts, and civilian scientists, Project Alberta played a central role in preparing and loading the “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” bombs aboard the *Enola Gay* and *Bockscar* B-29 bombers. These missions brought about the conclusion of World War II and ushered in the nuclear age, making Project Alberta’s personnel—including Goodman—direct participants in one of the most pivotal events in modern history.
