	Reference for Bockscar - Search.com
		Bockscar was flown on that day by the crew of another B-29, The Great Artiste, and was commanded by Major Charles W. Sweeney, commander of the 393rd Bomber Squadron of the 509th Composite Group.
		The Great Artiste had been outfitted for scientific measurement for the Hiroshima mission and so the flight crews were simply switched to each others' plane; thus making The Great Artiste the only support plane to accompany both atomic bombs to Japan.
		The crews of "The Great Artiste" and "Bockscar" switched planes resulting in the bomb being dropped by "Bockscar" flown by the crew of "The Great Artiste", which had trained for the bombing run.

	Just Hold Still: A Conversation with Jem Cohen
		The great thing is that I was allowed to include things that the band didn't want in, and they are responsible for a lot of things done in ways I might not have done them on my own.
		In a way the cinema is a great way of telling people not to look too closely at their actual circumstances but to dream far away about other circumstances that they will never actually encounter.
		The short length, in many ways, is really great, because it forces people to be careful about what they are shooting, and to have some sense of discipline or planning or just care when they put their finger on the trigger.

	RELECTIONS FROM ABOVE
		This bumped the Great Artiste's regular pilot, Captain Don Albury, down to second pilot and eliminated the necessity of Olivi, normally the plane's co-pilot.
		The Great Artiste had originally been scheduled for the mission, but since it had been fitted as an instrument plane for the Hiroshima run there was not time to reconfigure the bomb bay for the "Fat Man."
		He was followed soon after by Capt. Fred Bock piloting the Great Artiste as the instrument plane and Major James Hopkins who flew the Victor 90, which carried movie cameras and scientific observers from England.

		She had a great deal to say, she declared, and she proceeded to say it-- sitting in a big easy-chair near the bed, with a rug around her knees, while I propped myself up with pillows and listened.
		But it was a great relief to have the child quiet, so she bore the infliction of the pinching as long as she could.
		Every time she entered the great convention-hall the entire audience rose and remained standing until she was seated; each mention of her name was punctuated by cheers; and the enthusiasm when she appeared on the platform to say a few words was beyond bounds.

	Vanguard - Arts: Remembering Charles Iwegbue 30 years after
		Another version of his death had it that the man was merely the victim of witchcraft, because his detractors employed such inexplicable and rather uncanny means of extinguishing the great artisteâs life.
		His was in conformity to the old tradition of the early highlife artistes who so much believed in giving their fans what they really needed.
		As at that time when highlife was merely beginning, an artisteâs developmental process was deemed to be incomplete if he had not visited or stayed briefly in nearby countries to enable him understand the existing variety of styles.

		A touching gesture, yet the great artiste's presence is palpable not only because of Dhani looking uncannily like his father whose spirit clearly is here.
		The earliest of those is "Hallelujah", the unique one, shot in fl-and-white for German Beat Club in 1969 right after the Mk II was born and, perhaps, the most restrained of all, because what's obvious here is the band's total indifference to the surroundings: they always gave their all even thrown in a TV studio.
		What's great is that there's no a sign of reverence from the Liverpudlian crowd, which makes it a real gig celebrating not the city's famous son but music that opened the big world to him.

	Nagasaki - 09 August 1945
		In general, though Fat Man exploded with greater force than Little Boy, the damage at Nagasaki was not as great as it had been at Hiroshima.
		The hills of Nagasaki, its geographic layout, and the bomb's detonation over an industrial area all helped shield portions of the city from the weapon's blast, heat, and radiation effects.
		In error, The Great Artiste was named in some official reports as the superfortress that dropped the atomic bomb at Nagasaki.

		Major Charles W. Sweeny was to command the mission in his plane The Great Artiste.
		But The Great Artiste was still outfitted with scientific gear left over from being the support plane for the Hiroshima mission and there wasn't time to outfit it to carry Fat Man. So Sweeney and his crew took over Captain Frederick C. Bock, Jr.'s plane Bock's Car, while Bock's crew switched to The Great Artiste.
		Bock, aboard The Great Artiste, caught a glimpse of it, but Sweeney never saw the plane and circled the area for forty minutes, wasting yet more precious fuel, before finally taking off for Kokura.
