Description: What I am listing tonight Is a sharp photograph of the B29 named and nose art painted after the war was over " Strange Cargo". this plane was one of fifteen special built " Silverplate " B-29's designed to carry an Atomic Bomb. The size of the photograph is 8 x 10. The crew of this plane flew four combat missions to Japan. The photograph was taken on Tinian after the war was over. The photograph was reproduced from an original negative that I own. There are 4 Crewmembers autographs on the photograph and 2 Ground Crew. The signatures are actual, real, not a scan, copy, reproduction or forgery of any type and you will be able to see the pen impressions. For provenance I have also scanned a copy of letters from several Crewmembers and Ground Crew, they are not part of the sale. The Westover Crew flew four (4) combat Missions over Japan, each time carrying a 10,000 "Fatman" bomb loaded with high explosive (torpex). Before a July mission, the bomb they were carrying dropped from their plane onto the ground before they took off. I have scanned a copy of the letter from a crewmember describing the incident. I will include a copy of the letter with the autographed photograph, but not the original. I am an Honorary Member of the 509th, Reunion Chairman from 2001- 2006, 2008-2017, and I actually have attended all 509th Reunions since 1990, (18 of them) I also edited the 509th Newsletter. Good Luck, happy bidding!!!
