Description: Good evening, I am listing a very nice photo from my collection of Capt. Fred Bock, Airplane Commander, B-29, " Bockscar" chemically reproduced from my negative this Is a 5 x 7 black and white photograph possibly taken before or after a flight, boldly autographed with his name and " A/C ( for Airplane Commander ) " all entirely In his handwriting. If I remember without looking at the Roster, Fred died In 2001 This photograph was autographed In front of me at Fred Bock's summer home on Lake Michigan, I am the original source for this photograph, no need to send this to PSA for certification as others have done, everything I list Is guaranteed original, I have the negative and secured the autograph.This photograph was taken In flight by Charles Levy, Fred Bock's Bombardier This photograph was autographed almost 20 years ago, please read the note Morris Jeppson sent to me three weeks before he died and the Newsletter from the Ohio Valley Military Society. All my listings were acquired by me. Note that Mr. Bock has added A/C ( Airplane Commander ) with the number 77 which was the number on the nose of his plane " Bockscar "The autograph Is hand signed on this photograph, this Is not a scan, reprint or forgery of any type and was acquired by me. I am showing the letter from Mr. Bock to me for provenance. It Is not part of the listing. I would like to remind you that you are purchasing from an historian that studied the 509th Composite Group for over 25 years. I knew over 300 of the Veterans In this group. Many of the photographs that I have listed on e-bay were used In my book, and I was fortunate to obtain a few extra's. I did my best to obtain high quality photographs before I had them autographed, and make sure the photographs were historically correct. This was all done before the advent of digital photography. Much of my work has been copied which I consider a compliment. I was elected an Honorary Member In 2001, have attended all reunions since 1990, edit their Newsletter and have been Chairman for their Reunions 2001-2006, 2008-17 (16 Reunions) You will receive the autographed photo you see. Our book "The 509th Remembered" available on our site of the same name Please ask questions if you have any. Per e-bay rules we accept alternate forms of payment If you ask. Thank you!!
