Technical Sergeant George Robert Caron was the tail gunner, the only defender of the twelve crewmen, aboard the B-29 Enola Gay during the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Facing the rear of the B-29, his vantage point made him the first airborne person to witness the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.
