Not sure that I'd bother quoting medal citations that weren't combat or Manhattan Project related. At his pay grade, Legions of Merit and the like are common end of tour awards.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Contradictory
This article states he flew the first "Little Boy pumpkin bomb" aboard a Neptune off a carrier. Pumpkin bombs (if you believe the wiki article linked from this page) were dummy Fat Man bombs - a "Little Boy pumpkin bomb" would thus appear to be a contradiction in terms. Unless verified that inert Little Boy bombs were also called pumpkin bombs with some suitable reference, this should probably be reworded as inert Little Boy bomb, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.13 (talk) 12:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * For a start, there already is a suitable reference in the article, Hayward & Borklund 2000, p. 183. If you'd checked it, you would have found the reference to a Little Boy pumpkin. Here is a picture of one. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:48, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
