Frederick Ashworth, Donald Mastick, Project A, 509th, Atomic Bomb, Tinian

Description: Good Evening, What I am listing tonight Is an 8 x 10 autographed, chemically produced photo on photo paper (not scanned) of Frederick Ashworth and his assistant Donald Mastick at their " office" on Tinian. Commander Ashworth, retired as Vice Admiral, was the "Weaponeer" on board "Bockscar" the B29 that dropped the second Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki. Autographed Items autographed by Frederick Ashworth are not common. The autographs are on the photo, they are actual, real, not a scan reprint or forgery. They were obtained by me. I have placed a strip of paper over the photo to prevent It from being copied. I had a very small quantity of photos made and sent them to him with a Stadler Lumicolor, (non fading) pen. You will receive a copy of Commander Ashworth's Silver Star Certificate and copy of letter written to me explaining what took place Inside " Bockscar" Navy Commander Ashworth ( rank at time) played a very Important role In the Atomic Bomb Project. he was recruited to Los Alamos by Navy Captain Parsons. Commander Ashworth selected Tinian as the Airfield that the 509th operated from and he flew as "Weaponeer" on the second Atomic Mission. I knew Vice Admiral Ashworth, I shared much of my research and photos with him. He supported my efforts to memorialize the men of the 509th through my book and website. Several of these photos were used in our book "The 509th Remembered" available on our site the same name as our book. Please be sure to visit us with an Atomic Veteran. Details can be found In the appearance section of our website I have attended ALL 509th Reunions since and Including 1990. I have been Reunion Chairman for the 509th 2001-2006, 2008-2017.I was elected Official 509th Historian by the Veterans Thankyou for looking and happy bidding
