Frederick J. Olivi served as a member of the 393rd Bombardment Squadron of the 509th Composite Group. He was regularly assigned to the Great Artiste but was pre-empted from the Hiroshima Mission due to the number of scientific personnel required. Days later, he participated in the Nagasaki Mission as the co-pilot of Bockscar.
