The B-29 on display, Bockscar, dropped the Fat Man atomic bomb on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945, three days after the atomic attack against Hiroshima.

I have been a photographer most of my life. I started in the 70s working on high school yearbooks. I have traveled to many countries and within the USA.
