Some of you might be interested in the following eBay link for a poster which includes a copy of Theodore ‘Dutch’ Van Kirk’s log of the flight of the Enola Gay.

Although claimed to be ‘original’, I think it must mean original poster rather than original log. I don’t know if celestial was used on that trip; Van Kirk would by 1945 have had LORAN available most if not all the way. DaveP
