We’ve to Naval Museum in Pennsacola. They have all of Ens Gay’s personal effects from that day including life vest with mirror on it. Also saw “Strawberry 5” is in the hangar.

That is a really good museum. I haven’t been there in 30 years but the one thing which fascinated me was the cut away engines.

The old piston ones were actually far more complex than the jets.
