      @@Teguh_Prayogo, considering it's family related, I'll never part with it. I wish I could have gotten to see my great Grandfather more. But unfortunately he did not live to see me graduate high school, I wish he could have seen me going to enlist. But unfortunately I wasn't able to due to a medical emergency. I'm still angry about that happening.

    "The story is based on a book by Gordon Thomas and Max Gordon Witts". And the books is "Enola Gay: Mission to Hiroshima", I guess.

    I have a relative who worked on the B-29 to make it be able to fly higher than normal - then it was named The Enola Gay. It wasn't always.

      No, that individual B-29 was named 'Enola Gay'; the aircraft itself remains a B-29. It's no different than a ship or boat. Everyone gives theirs a name for good luck, but the craft itself stays the same

      it was known simply as Plane #82, I think, before being named by Col. Paul Tibbets after his mother.

    Watched from Jamaica, B 29's came to Jamaica at Vernam Field on training missions to bomb Japan in early 1945 and I believe the B29 that did the photo shoot of the bomber crew did some training at Vernam Field.
