bomb
Photograph signed: "George R. Caron". B/w, 10x8. Depicts a

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.
