That's really something! Is he in the book? I saw a documentary about the end of the war called "Japan's Longest Day" that I think may have had that mission in it. I wonder if he's in there?

I had a friend who's late father-in-law was one of the team that loaded the bomb on the Enola Gay. He found him in some documentary footage!

Thanks for the heads up - I just reserved it.

You'll enjoy the book.

My father isn't mentioned in the book, but my brothers and I did contact him before he died, and said he remembered my father. (Jim was the radio operator for the B-29 Boomerang.)

My brothers and I also keep in contact with the 315th Bombardment Group, NW Field, Guam. Lots of sons and daughters have taken over for their fathers who have passed away. We try to keep the memories alive of the 315th Group. We had a few e-mails with Jim Smith. He was a delightful man.

Let me know what you think of the book.

Warmest regards,

Jay
