Because a certain OMD song same up on random play while I was driving home from the grocery store I was reminded of this very strange fact: for a time, via my first wife, I was related to the man who took this picture. His name was Russell Gackenbach and he was the navigator of the B-29 designated V-91 (later named “Necessary Evil”), one of the two observation aircraft that followed the “Enola Gay” on the Hiroshima mission.
