Working on the Tail Fuse of a AN-M64 "Carpetbagger" General Purpose 500lb bomb in the Forward bomb bay of a B-29 Superfortress. This picture in B&Whas been around since WW2. Here is a colorized version of it. The name of the mechanic working on the bombs has been lost to time. But he has become immortalized as this picture continues to circulate 75 years after the picture was snapped.
