ALS signed “Morris Jeppson (Dick to friends),” one page, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, January 15, 2009. Letter regarding questions of the Enola Gay mission. In part: “I’ve never been confronted by adverse questions, even from individuals I sensed might be antagonistic…Eight of us were requisitioned by Los Alamos…to work with the 509th. On Tinian, a coin toss selected me to do Hiroshima…Hiroshima was similar to several test missions flown with dummy bombs to test radar-fuzing-targets on Salton Sea, Calif., in early 1945. No second wishes about Hiroshima mission–either about selection or results.” In fine condition. A rare and insightful look into Jeppson’s thoughts and role as a crew member, as for years he refused to discuss any aspect of his mission. RRAuction COA.
