Back in the middle nineties the 509th Composite Group (A-Bomb) which trained secretly in Wendover had their 45th Reunion in town during Speedweek. Fred Bock, for whom the second B29 was named, recognizing me as a Bonneville fella, asked after the unveiling ceremony of the monument at the visitors center commemorating the crews if I could take him out to Speedweek to find the little red.white and blue lakester, #1000, called the Bockscar. The Bockscar had been named for his B29 and I was proud to take him in my little VW coupe out to the salt. Below is a photo of Fred Bock, myself and Bockscar, a Bonneville racer that has gone onto a long and distinguished career at Bonneville.
