Good Evening, WhatI am listing tonight Is an 8 x 10 autographed, chemically producedphoto onphoto paper (not scanned)of a \" Fat Man\" configuration bomb. Frederick Ashworth was the \"Weaponeer\" on board \"Bockscar\" the B29 that dropped the second Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki. Autographed Items autographed by Frederick Ashworth are not common. The autograph on the photo Is on the photo, actual, real, not a scan reprint or forgery. It was obtained by me. I have placed a strip of paper over the photo to prevent It from being copied. I had a very small quantity of photos made and sent them to him with a Stadler Lumicolor (non fading) pen. ThisIs alimited offering of this autographed photo, don\'t let It get away from you.

The second Item you will receive Is a copy of Commander Ashworth\'s Silver Star Certificate.I have also added a 5 x 7 photograph of Commander Ashworth waiting for the return of the Enola Gay- 3 Items total

Navy Commander Ashworth ( rank at time)played a very Important role In the Atomic Bomb Project. he was recruited to Los Alamos by Navy Captain Parsons. Commander Ashworth selected Tinian as the Airfield that the 509th operated from and he flew as \"Weaponeer\" on the second Atomic Mission.

I knew Vice Admiral Ashworth,I shared much of my research and photos with him. He supported my efforts to memorialize the men of the 509th through my book and website. Several of these photos were used in our book \"The 509th Remembered\" available on Amazon or on our sitethe same name as our book.

Please be sure to visit us with an Atomic Veteran.Details can be found In the appearance section of our website
