Description

Enola Gay: Paul Tibbets

Souvenir TQS on an off-white 5.5 x 3.5 card, a printed quote on the bombing of Hiroshima that reads, “At exactly 2:45 AM, Marianas time, three B-29s took off from parallel runways. We watched breathless as Colonel Tibbets held the Enola Gay to the ground almost to the end of the runway. It then climbed gracefully and disappeared into the northern sky.” Signed in blue felt tip, “Paul Tibbets 12-18-03.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope with Tibbets’ handwritten return address. RRAuction COA.
