ALS, one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, January 8, 1995. Letter to an admirer about the tail markings on the Enola Gay. In part: “Now to the confusion of the ‘Enola gay’ photos Paul Tibbets signed for you. The R on the tail of his aircraft was there for the Hiroshima mission only—to help confuse the Japanese as to what Bomb Group the plane came from on Saipan, Tinian, or Guam Islands. It was only a deception on our part.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
