Description: Good Evening, What I am listing tonight Is an 8 x 10 photo of the B29 Crews of "Up An Atom" and " The Great Artiste" both members of 393rd Bomb Squadron,( VH ) 509th Composite Group. The Crew Of " Up an Atom" flew the Hiroshima Mission as the Scientific Photographic B-29, actually flying the B-29 " Necessary Evil ",number 91, because their plane had an engine out. The Crew of "The Great Artiste" flew the Scientific Instrument B-29. On the August 9th Mission the flew the B-29 " Bockscar"I have attended all 509th Reunions since 1990.Elected Official Historian of the 509th by the Veterans, Chaired 16 of their Reunions. This photograph was developed from an original negative. The photo has been,hand signed on the photo by eight ( 8 ) crewmembers of both planes. In this photo they are receiving the Air Medal for the August 6th mission to Hiroshima. You will not find this photograph with this many autographs elsewhere, each has signed, what they did on August 6th and the Sweeney Crew autographed what they did on both missions. Look at right side and you can see the Band playing for the presentation. I will name the men In the photograph for you. This Is a very limited offering. Most autographed 509th plane photos originated from my collection, much of my work has been copied by others and sold at much higher prices. As with my other listings you are purchasing from an Historian not someone who buys autographs to sell them at a profit. I researched these photos and crews. I have attended all 509th Reunions 1990 to 2016. Have been Reunion Chairman 2001-2006,2008-17, a total of 16 Reunions.As what I do with all my listings I will Include copies of letters from Veterans. No need to do a PSA Certification, unless you cannot prove where you obtained the autographs.You know who I am, you can bid with confidence. I obtained the autographs, I obtained the photographs to share with all of you . This Is not a scan, reprint, or forgeries, the autographs are original and hand signed on this photo.
