Enola Gay Navigator
Mr. Van Kirk signed autographs for 700th Airlift Squadron aircrew members when he visited the base in April. Reminiscing about his experience as a navigator during World War II, he said aircrews in his day couldn't rely on instruments to navigate. Rather, navigators had to use visual recognition. "We had to drop the atomic bomb visually. We were told if we couldn't drop it we were not to bring it back. They told us to drop it out into the ocean."
