Project Trinity, 1945-1946
by Carl R. Maag, Steve Rohrer
About the author
Carl R. Maag is an engineer and technical author best known in the book world for co-authoring Project Trinity, 1945–1946 with Steve Rohrer. That book examines the first nuclear weapons test in New Mexico and is valued for its detailed look at operations, safety measures, and radiological concerns surrounding the Trinity project.
Available records also link him to engineering work beyond authorship. Listings from the Online Books Page connect his name to a Jet Propulsion Laboratory report on photovoltaic module soiling studies from 1980, and SPIE identifies him as a managing director at T&M Engineering with several technical publications.
Because reliable biographical information on him is limited in the sources I could confirm, a full personal profile is hard to reconstruct. What does come through clearly is a career centered on technical problem-solving and documentation, with writing that reflects an engineer’s eye for precision and evidence.
