ENOLA GAY CREW: GEORGE R. CARON
Shown at a debriefing after the dropping of the first atomic
bomb
Photograph signed: "George R. Caron/Tail Gunner - Enola Gay".
B/w, 10x8 with brown hue. Depicts a meeting of the 509th Composite Group
after the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. George R. "Bob" Caron was the tail
gunner on the Enola Gay on 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, pictured here in baseball cap,
wore a Brooklyn Dodgers cap on the Hiroshima mission. Caron died in 1995. Fine
condition.
