Good Evening, I ask that you please read carefully.How many times have you seen an historic WWII photo In color autographed.The autographed photoIs 8 x 10 In size, the Image size Is 6 x 3/4 x 10 Inches.It wasreproduced from an original slide. Please note the exceptional quality and sharpness of Image and color, It\'s Kodachrome from 1945. The slide was taken with a 35mm Leica Camera. Color slide filmwas difficult to obtain and typically had to be returned to Kodak for development.

Please note, you are offerding on the color photo autographed by Paul Tibbets and Armen Shamlian. The three photos that I have scanned In black and white are for reference only and for comparing Armen\'s signature. Armen did not get the credit he should have for taking the famous picture of Paul Tibbets waving out the window of the Enola Gay before takeoff. He managed to leave Tinian with the original negative that Is why his photos look so good. I have brought Veterans for book and photo signings to the Reading WWII Weekend for 14 years. Armen also attended two years In a row. The color photo was autographed In front of me at Reading- questions? Please ask

The slide was taken at the time the EnolaGay Returned from Hiroshima, It\'s amazing that private photos were taken because of the security on the Island of Tinian at the time. With theautographed photo you will receive a copy of the page from our book \"The 509th Remembered\" with the story on how the slide was taken by George Staley, Bendix Aviation Tech Rep. assigned to the 509th
