 Hiroshima: August 6 and August 9, 1945 

I have once again removed the statement ""Operation suspended 6 August 1945 because of damage caused by atomic bomb attack. Service restored in stages from 9 August 1945."" The cited reference does not address this.

The August 6, 1945 date is undoubtedly correct. However, absent a reference, with citation (perhaps even a brief footnoted explanation), the statement that ""Service restored in stages from 9 August 1945"" does not belong. Absent a reference, the statement is fanciful, indeed, preposterous, and has the distinct cachet of an ""urban legend."" Once again, please see WP:PROVEIT. Please see in addition WP:REDFLAG. Although not (quite) a ""fringe theory,"" this is obviously an ""exceptional claim"" that requires a ""high-quality reliable source"" - a published reference, in Japanese.   "
