Jim Wright RIIP: 22/22 Vision Through a Bomb Sight

The Deaths in 2015 site lists under May 6:
Jim Wright, 92, American politician, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (1987–1989).[3]
That a notable "Wright" has passed away is "timely" when considering the title of yesterdays post, Mark Wright and Wark Wrighting.  

Note from Jim Wrights wiki page:
James Claude Wright, Jr. (December 22, 1922 – May 6, 2015)
Twin 22's are a particular inner twin trade mark signature and we have two sets.  Note this next excerpt from his wiki page:
He trained as a bombardier and earned a Distinguished Flying Cross flying combat in B-24 Liberators with the 530th Bomb Squadron, 380th Bomb Group (Heavy) in the South Pacific during World War II. His retelling of his wartime exploits is contained in his 2005 book The Flying Circus: Pacific War—1943—As Seen through A Bombsight.[2]
Another addition to the recent "Bomb/TNT..." pattern-cluster.  Note for instance the titles of my recent May 3, 4 and 5 posts:
