Thal and Anderson filled others present at the appraisals in on the World War II event and some surrounding facts, including the type of plane (B-29) and who it was named for (Enola Gay after the pilot Paul Tibbets’ mother). “Because of that you probably wouldn’t need to get the signatures officially authenticated.” He went on to explain that if it were to be authenticated, they would use forensic testing. “It’s nice you had this signed in their presence, which gives it more provenance,” he explained. Anderson said that the page has value even though it is a reproduction and that the value lies in the signatures.
