Last September at a local air show (Lunken Field, Cincinnati Ohio) Paul Tibbets was signing his newly updated book 'ENOLA GAY'. The line at his desk was fairly long but I waited patiently (not a attribute of mine) knowing this was an opportunity not to be missed. Spoke briefly with Paul Tibbetts as he signed my book (you have to speak into a small amplifier as Tibbetts, like all old bomber pilots, is hard of hearing). He signature, dated 9-11-04, and my brief conversation with a legend was well worth the wait.

And old stateside Army Air Corp Mechanics like my extremely deaf Dad who, even though he enlisted when almost thirty, said he was being warned to prepare for overseas duty if conditions with the Japanese had not changed drastically.
