Frederick L. Ashworth, 94, died during heart surgery last week.

During World War 2 Mr. Ashworth was the weaponeer on board the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The weaponeer is the person who actually arms the bomb.

On August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered.

Well done.
