Item Details
Description
Paul Tibbets 8"x10" black and white photograph of the WASP Pilots of the B29 " Ladybird" and their Instructor Pilot Paul Tibbets. After flying more than 50 missions in a B17, Paul Tibbets returned stateside to be in charge of the B29 training program. Due to engine fires many pilots refused to fly the B29, Paul Tibbets came up with the idea to embarrass the pilots by stating if a woman could fly a B29 without fear a man could. Boldly signed with an unusual inscription by Paul Tibbets (1915-2007) " Paul Tibbets-Instr. Pilot" and signed by the two WASP Pilots Didi Moorman, "Didi Moorman" and Dora Dougherty " Dora Doherty" FAA Inspector Dean Hudson examines their Pilot certificates.
