Good Evening, What I am listing tonight Is an autographed 8 x 10 Black and white photo of Jack Widowsky, Navigator B-29 " Top Secret" the crew of this plane flew the Hiroshima backup, and Nagasaki Advance Weather planes. This photo of Jack was taken Inside his plane later named " Top Secret"

Note how much Jack has signed on this photograph. I originally sent the photograph ( unsigned ) to the people at the Reading WWII Weekend to use on their site. An autograph dealer who lists on e-bay copied It off the site and sent It to Jack In the mail for signature. Unfortunately, I did not copyright the Image.

Pictured are Jack's Badges from Reading WWII Weekend and the Guests that I brought In 2010- Jack Is on the far right.

Quality Is more Important than price paid. This Is a chemically developed picture from the negative that I own.

Why pay a premium for an autographed photograph that originated from my research. All my listings would pass a PSA test. 

As always, my listings come with an extra supporting historical document The autograph on this photograph Is actual, real, hand signed on this photograph and was obtained by me during one of our appearances at the Reading, Pa. WWII Weekend.

The McKnight Crew was chosen to participate In both Atomic missions Jack Widowsky has autographed with his position.

  Our book "the 509th Remembered" available on our site of the same name

 The crew flew the Hiroshima mission as backup B 29 and as the Nagasaki Weather Plane for the August 9th Mission. The McKnight/ Bontekoe Crew Plane was known as "Top Secret" It had an engine out so the crew could not fly their plane on either mission. They flew " The Big Stink" and "Laggin Dragon" both named after the War was over.

  The autograph Is Hand signed on this photo. It Is not a scan, reprint or forgery.
