Paul Tibbets – Enola Gay Pilot – Autographed “Atomic Bomb” Hiroshima Commemo

Description

Details:

Paul Tibbets autographed colorful Fluegel cachet cover titled “The Atomic Bomb,” postmarked August 6, 1945, in Washington, D.C.—the very date of the Hiroshima bombing. The striking artwork depicts the detonation and devastation of the atomic blast, accompanied by a 3¢ Iwo Jima postage stamp. A powerful period piece directly tied to the mission led by Tibbets aboard the Enola Gay.

Fine condition.

Brigadier General Paul W. Tibbets (1915–2007) was a U.S. Air Force pilot who commanded and flew the B-29 Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. A pivotal figure in aviation history, Tibbets later served in nuclear operations planning and remained a prominent voice in recounting the events that ended World War II.
