I found an article online about Abury being the co-pilot on the Bockscar (Nagasaki) not the Enola Gay. From what I've found he retired in 1980, but he IS listed as an Eastern Scab. He must have taken a non "line flying" position.? There were a couple Comair scabs that were retired that flew reposition flights. Maybe he did the same. Maybe he took an instructor/training position?

As for a war hero, who knows? Benedict Arnold was the greatest hero of the Revolutionary War and look what he did.

All I'm saying is that he is on the scab list. I know nothing more nor am I saying more.
