I attend the World War II weekend that is scheduled everyJune in Reading Pennsylvania . It is three days long and I usually attend everyday to acquire relics and autographs as well as see the great events. This show and reenactment has lots of great airplanes, reenactors and famous WWII vets signing autographs. Paul Tibbets or the pilot of the Enola Gay was t in 2004 and 2006 but was unable to attend in 2005 and 2007 due to his health. I had him sign multiple autographs over the last 20 years. He has tragically passed away. I'm offering this great signed ground crew photo signed by him on 6/4/04. This photo was not one offered at the show and I carried it t to be signed. The photo w he is signing is the snapshot of another one that I purchased that he did offer at the show in 2006 for reference and validity. Your crew photo measures 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches and is a glossy photo signed in black felt tip. Autograph is original and not copied. Below is information on the photo: show, Tibbets, and the Enola Gay. Photo of Col. Paul Tibbets With the Enola Gay's Ground Crew MAAM Show: Since 1990 the Mid Atlantic Air Museum’s World War II Weekend has become the largest and best attended nationally known WWII Commemoration. It started as a recreated airfield during the WWII 50th anniversary celebrations and now, as we observe the 60th anniversary of D-Day, it has grown exponentially into a WWII “Renaissance Fair.” With encampments and displays that represent the European, Pacific and Mediterranean Theaters, and the Great American Home Front, 70 aircraft, 200 period vehicles and over 1100 period living history interpreters and entertainers, it all adds up to what Militaria International Magazine calls the “Best WWII Show in the U.S., Bar None” New to the airshow this year will be the inclusion of the USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II Demo Team along with Mr. Jim Beasley Jr. in his P-51D Mustang. Each afternoon the A-10 and P-51 will join in the air for the USAF Heritage Flight. Visit the David Schultz Airshows web site for more information. WWII WEEKEND IS SEVEN SHOWS IN ONE!
