Enola Gay, Hiroshima, Navigator, Dutch Van Kirk, 509th Composite Group,WWII, B29 For Sale

Good Evening, I am listingIs one of my best color Images of the Enola Gay.It was reproduced from the original Kodachrome Color Slide taken by 393rd Bomb Squadron ( VH ) 509th Composite Group, Computer Specialist, Ken Eidnes, a nice full length photo of the plane. George Caron sold copies of this photo prior to 1995 but they were not quality, they were copies of copies, somewhat blurry.

I have placed a strip of paper over the photo to prevent unauthorized reproduction of this photo. This Is the autographed photo you will receive, It has a hand signed statement on the photo by the Navigator of the Enola Gay, Theodore \"Dutch\" Van Kirk. The photo size Is 8 x 10.

I have a very limited quantity of this autographed photo. I own a Kodachrome Slide that the photo was reproduced from for Dutch to autograph. a claim that no one else can make, I also own the flight suit that Paul Tibbets wore on the Hiroshima Mission.

Note that this Is a bold very good autograph, signed several years ago during lull moments at our appearances. I wouldestimatethat his statement was hand signed on this photo at least 14 years ago. The last two years of our appearances 2013 and 14 Dutch was havingdifficultywriting more than a sentence.

This statement Is guaranteed to pass any autograph authentication you want to submit It to, why put an ugly PSA sticker on the photo.

The autograph on the photo was autographed with aBlue Stadtler Lumicolor pen which offsets the photo very nicely.

You are purchasing from an Historian who researched 509th Composite Group photos for 25 years. Most photos being sold were \"unearthed\" by me. I have sold to collectors, historians and dealers. All my photo work was done by a professional street level brick and mortar photo lab. All our photos are sharp, clear as good as originals or better.

The autograph on the photoIs real, actual and obtained by me. ThisIs not ascan, re print, copy or forgery. I do not use A-I descriptions
