How can I find more about my grandfather (Navel photographer) and confirm he was on the Enola Gay/Bockscar. We have documents from JS Parsons stating his involvement. My grandfather stated that he took that famous picture of the mushroom cloud. My family always believed my grandfather lied because he is no where in the history books. I have found a picture and video of him singing the Fat Man. I have found a document releasing him from verbal orders from JS Parsons. My grandfather also claims to have signed the inside of the Enola Gay, I have found a picture of some signatures but the picture is in poor quality to make out any names. This is all resent findings and I think there is more to his story.
Edit: I don't know how but I misspelled my Grandfathers name Fay Eliason Millward.
