I met Paul Tibbetts at his book signing at the WWII Museum’s opening of the Pacific Wing. I told him how my mother survived the Hiroshima bombing, moved to America and raised a family. We had come full circle, me telling him this as U.S. Navy chief. He was truly speechless. He signed a copy of his book to my mother. It was a very emotional moment.

Great story Luz - thanks for sharing.

My dad flew the Hump in the China-Burma-India Campaign, then came home to retire.

He had been notified that his services would be required again when the bomb dropped...
