The tail gunner on the Enola Gay pens this note to an admirer
Autograph Note Signed: "Bob Caron" 3½x5½. Dated November 3, 1979. Card postmarked
Denver, Colorado, November 4, 1979, on verso. Written to "Dear Steve". In full: "Your book
received to day. I've signed and re-packed it. Will forward to Nelson as soon as I can get to the
P.O./ Sincerely". George R. "Bob" Caron (1919-1995) was the tail gunner on the Enola
Gay who took part in its historic mission to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan
on August 6, 1945. Seated in the rear of the B-29, he was the first to see the mushroom
cloud. Caron had been given a camera at the last moment and snapped a roll of photographs as
the mushroom cloud ascended. His photographs of the explosion were printed on millions
of leaflets that were dropped over Japan the next day. Caron died in 1995. Otherwise, fine
condition.
