CARON, George R. (1919-1995). Tail Gunner on the Enola Gay. The only person on the plane to witness and photograph the bomb blast over Hiroshima. Very scarce photograph of Caron wearing a headset looking out the window of a B-29. He writes: “A flight on our C.A.F. (Confederate Air Force), B-29- a 49 yr old plane and, at 72 it sure beats Geritol. I was reporting to the pilot the position of our B-24 that was in formation with us. There also was a B-26 on our left. George R. Caron. Tail Gunner, Enola Gay.” A very scarce signed but not inscribed photograph..............$95.00
