ENOLA GAY CREW: THEODORE VAN KIRK
The Captain and Navigator of the historic Enola Gay bombing over Hiroshima signs his name on this 14x11 color photograph of the B-29 Bomber
Photograph signed: "Dutch Van Kirk/Navigator, Enola Gay". Color, 14x11. Accompanied by authenticating photocopy, dated October 31, 2005 of Van Kirk signing. Captain Theodore Van Kirk (1921-2014) was the navigator on the historic flight of the Enola Gay B-29 bomber that lifted off from Tinian Island at 2:45 A.M. on August 6, 1945. At 17 seconds past 8:15 a.m., "Little Boy", a 9,000-pound uranium-235 core-fissionable atomic bomb was released over Hiroshima, Japan. Forty-three seconds later, after the bomb detonated at 1,890 feet, the city was decimated; 71,000 were killed or assumed dead, 68,000 were injured and 60,000 buildings were destroyed. The bombing hastened the end of WWII and changed the nature of warfare forever. Fine condition.
