I have placed a strip of paper over the photo to prevent them from being copied. I had a very small quantity of photos made for autographing. ThisIs alimited offering of these autographed photos, don\'t let them get away from you. If a dealer buys this It will be marked up at least twice the amount I am asking.

The photograph has been handsigned by the Navigator, Frank Stewart and Ralph Jensen, Radio Operator.

This was one of a number of special built B29\'s to carry and Atomic Bomb.

Many years ago, Don Rehl made me the caretaker of all his memorabilia which Included negatives of the above photographs. I took the negatives to a professional photo lab and had 8 x 10 copies made to be autographed. Don Rehl was a major contributor to the effort to have the Enola Gay fully assembled, restored and put on display. Sadly he did not live long enough to realize his efforts. A copy of the B29 photo was given to historian Richard Campbell for use In his book \"Silver Plate Bombers\" Silver Plate B29\'s were specially built to carry Atomic Bombs.

Included with the autographed photos will be a copy of Special Order # 223 for the Rehl Crew to fly with scientists on board to look for radiation clouds from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bombs, and a copy of a letter to me from Ralph Jensen

The crew photograph was used In our book, \"The 509th Remembered\" available from our site of the same name or on Amazon.

I have attended ALL 509th Reunions since and Including 1990. I have been Reunion Chairman for the 509th 2001-2006, 2008-2013. I was elected an Honorary Member In 2001
