Lot of fourteen signed items from the crew of the Enola Gay includes: four copies of a transcript from the Japanese Home Service KON 630 KCS at 6:00 AM Tuesday 8/7 which reads, in part: “As frequently pointed out in the past, the people must watch themselves against underrating the enemy simply because he has carried out raids with a small number of planes. The enemy has been carrying out large-scale propaganda on the effectiveness of this new-type bomb since using these bombs, but as long as we formulate strong steel-like measures to cope with this bomb, it will be possible to keep damage to a minimum. We must be careful at all times so that we will not fall victim to the enemy’s machinations.” Each is signed at the conclusion by Thomas W. Ferebee; an ALS from George R. Caron politely declining to answer any questions regarding his role in the bombing due to the collectors’ market; five Japanese currency notes of different denominations, each signed by Ferebee; a 5 x 3 white index card signed by Ferebee, adding his rank; a photo of the Enola Gay affixed to a larger card and signed on the card by Caron and Tibbets, each adding his rank; a photo of Ferebee saluting General MacArthur, signed by Tibbets; and the ink signatures of Tibbets, Van Kirk, Jeppson, Beser, Duzenberrry and Cain affixed to an 8 x 10 card to which a patch is also affixed. In overall fine condition, with scattered light creasing to some pages and handling wear to the currency. R&R COA.
