Yes, and a friend of my Dad and myself was the man that dropped it. The late Thomas Ferebee of Mocksville, NC. Used to take trout fishing trips with them when I was a kid. Very jovial fellow, as I recall. He was the bombardier aboard the Enola Gay.

Major Thomas Ferebee was indeed the Enola Gay bombadier.
