The Last Crew Member goes 'West' !!

07-29-2014, 07:55 PM

WWII veteran Theodore (Dutch) Van Kirk, the navigator and last surviving crew member of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in the last days of World War II, died yesterday in Stone Mountain, Georgia at the age of 93.

Rest in peace, Sir.
