Hello, What I am listing Is a great photo of the Hiroshima Mushroom Cloud taken from the Tailgunners window window of the 509th Composite Group B29 Strike Plane, V-82 "Enola Gay" At the time the photo was taken the B29 was 230 miles from the cloud. You could see how fast It rose. The photo has been actually autographed by the Navigator of the Enola Gay, and the Navigator of V-91 Russ Gackenbach, his plane accompanied the Enola Gay and autographed as such. I am their "agent" for book and photo signings when we do road trips. Dutch and Russ autograph books and photos from my collection. T Is a strip of paper over the photo to prevent copying. Please note the quality of this photo and bold signatures. This photo Is reproduced from an original negative. The autographs on the photo was autographed with a silver pen and a blue Lumicolor pen which offsets the photo very nicely. The photo Is an 8x10 photo on glossy photo paper, this Is not a scanned photo. You are purchasing from an Historian who researched 509th Composite Group photos for 25 years. Most photos being sold were "unearthed" by me. I have sold to collectors, historians and dealers. All my photo work was done by a professional street level brick and mortar photo lab.
