Original U.S. WWII Enola Gay & Red Gremlin Crew-Signed Envelope - Signed by 8 of the 12 Crew Members

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb in warfare. The bomb, code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city of Hiroshima, Japan, and caused the destruction of about three quarters of the city. Enola Gay participated in the second nuclear attack as the weather reconnaissance aircraft for the primary target of Kokura. Clouds and drifting smoke resulted in Nagasaki, a secondary target, being bombed instead.

This is a great framed envelope which is signed by several crew members serving aboard the Enola Gay when it dropped the Atomic Bombs during World War II. There are also signatures from members aboard the Red Gremlin. The signatures include:

- Herman S. Haag - Flew on Red Gremlin with Tibbets but was not on the Enola Gay.
- Dutch Van Kirk, Navigator, Enola Gay.
- Paul Tibbets, Pilot, Enola Gay.
- Thomas Ferebee, Bombardier, Enola Gay.
- Zackie Gowan B.T.O. - Served on the Red Gremlin with Tibbets. (Signed twice).
- Charles Peach, Assistant Crew Chief on Red Gremlin with Tibbets. 
- At the very top is a signature reading “Will… S. Olay?” Requires further research. 

This is an outstanding piece with fantastic signatures, ready for further research and display.
