Paul Tibbets, the first Atomic Bomb mission commander, passed away today at his home in Columbus, Ohio, aged 92.
I have made several haunting visits to the Enola Gay at the Smithsonian.
The five-ton "Little Boy" bomb was dropped on the morning of 6 August 1945, killing about 140,000 Japanese.
On the 60th anniversary of the bombing, the three surviving crew members of the Enola Gay - named after Tibbet's mother - said they had "no regrets".-- Wow. What a life...
