"This is a picture of a P2V twin engine bomber taking off from the USS CORAL SEA, JATO assisted, at 07:30 on 21 April 1950.  The pilot was John T. Hayward.  I was part of the team that assembled a 'Little Boy' Atomic Bomb that is in this plane.  The thing weighed 8,900 lbs and was the first Atomic Bomb flown off  of an Air Craft carrier." - Roy Norman
