A question mark? I always assumed the white part was a depiction of a mushroom cloud. Thanks!
Minor thing: I'd once wondered when the "official Manhattan Project shoulder patch" was issued. The answer is: late August 1945. (AP wire story is from August 25, 1945.) Huh.pic.twitter.com/EMoIjWKmZy

I think it's meant to be a question-mark-slash-mushroom cloud, riffing on the Hiroshima cloud photo.pic.twitter.com/RsYeM5Tblj

Yes, that looks pretty spot-on to me.

what does the red ring signify?

It's the Army Service Forces insignia, which is the overarching body that included the Corps of Engineers, which ran the Manhattan Engineer District.

Ahh... I see it now. Thanks.

I knew they must've been in use prior to New Year's Eve of '45--I have a photo of my dad at an SED party where you can see a patch on one of the New Year celebrants. (Dad is far left, good friend Walter Breiter with patch is far right.)pic.twitter.com/cPQ8Pl8vva
