Hello, What I am listing Isa great photo of historical significance, a 8 x 10 color photograph reproduced from the original Kodachrome color slide taken by Harold Agnew, Scientist that worked In Chicago with Enrico Fermi, Los Alamos, and flew the Hiroshima Mission In the Scientific B29 that accompanied the Enola Gay. The slide/photo was taken before the Atomic Bombs had been dropped. This B29 , one of 15 specially built to carry an Atomic Bomb has been autographed by It\'s last Airplane Commander, Herman Zahn, Four Crew members and one Ground Crewman. The signatures were very difficult to obtain, therefore I have very few autographed copies and you will not find this available elsewhere. You will also receive an 8 x 10 black and white photograph of the crew which will be Identified.

This Is an opportunity to acquire a color photograph of a 509th Composite Group B29 autographed by It\'s commander and crew. This particular B29 was used on both Atomic Missions being flown by two different crews, The Charles McKnight Crew on August 6th as the Hiroshima \"backup\" B29 and on August 9th as the Nagasaki photographic plane. The Zahn Crew arrived late on Tinian flying the B29 later named \" Luke The Spook\" they were part of a 3 B29 flight carrying components of the Nagasaki Bomb. They flew no combat Missions over Japan, the B29 \" Luke the Spook\" returned to the states to pick up components for a 3rd bomb and the Zahn Crew was then assigned \" Big Stink\"

When I asked a crew member why they named the plane \" Big Stink\" The answer was they had many problems with It.

The autograph on the photo was autographed with a blue Lumicolor penwhich offsets the photo very nicely. HAND SIGNED!!!!
