The "ENOLA GAY"
USAAF B-29 Superfortress Bomber "Enola Gay" Which Dropped the Atomic Bomb on Japan
The Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress
bomber which dropped the first atomic bomb, code-named "Little Boy",
to be used in war by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the
attack on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945, just before the end of
World War II. Because of the bomber's role in the atomic bombings of Japan, its name has been synonymous with the controversy over the bombings themselves. The B-29 was named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Paul Tibbets. |
