A souvenir typescript of "his statements during the dropping of the 1st Atom Bomb," in part: "For me, struggling with the controls, the 43 seconds from the bomb [Little Boy] release to explosion passed quickly…I began circling so that we could view the results. For the record, I announced over the intercom, 'Fellows, you have just dropped the first atomic bomb in history.' 'I think this is the end of the war,' I said to Bob Lewis." Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 13.25 x 16. In very fine condition.
