Aviator Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk, 1921-2014

August 02, 2014/ Steve Zarelli

Dutch Van Kirk was the navigator of the Enola Gay when it dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. He was the last surviving member of the Enola Gay crew.

Mr. Van Kirk was a friend to aviation historians and autograph collectors... he will be missed.
