Step into aviation history with this extraordinary, limited-time auction featuring framed artwork honoring Master Sergeant John D. Kuharek—a legendary airman who served on both historic atomic bomb missions in August 1945.
Featured History
The Hiroshima Mission (August 6, 1945):
Serving as flight engineer aboard The Great Artiste alongside Major Charles W. Sweeney, MSgt. Kuharek shadowed the Enola Gay to measure, record, and observe the blast of the "Little Boy" bomb.
The Nagasaki Mission (August 9, 1945):
Aboard Bockscar as the primary strike flight engineer, Kuharek played a pivotal role in the mission's survival. He identified a critical fuel transfer failure involving a jammed reserve tank pump—a discovery vital to managing their near-emergency fuel state during the strike on Nagasaki and safe diversion landing on Okinawa.
