About This Item
Theodore Van Kirk, Navigator of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Inscribed Signed Photo, 11" x 8 1/2" black and white aerial photo of Hiroshima after the devastation of the atomic bomb. The image shows a city totally flatted out. Van Kirk writes on the photo in blue ink giving justifications for the civilian deaths of Hiroshima: "Our Atomic Bomb was dropped at 09:15 hours, Tinian time. 43 seconds later 60% of Hiroshima was destroyed. The number of killed and missing was 80,000. Unfortunately in modern warfare you cannot separate military and civilian targets - Dutch Van Kirk - Navigator - Enola Gay - Hiroshima- 6 Aug 1945". An impressive image and an amazing inscription as we rarely see any reference to the casualties of the A bomb by the crew members.
