Col. Paul Tibbets lived up the road in Columbus, OH until his death a few years ago. In 1985 he was asked to do an interview with Time. He said, quote, "My crew didn't have the slightest emotional or psychological problem with what we did. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to drop that bomb."
Commander Fuchida, who led the Pearl Harbor attack, later converted to Christianity and visited Tibbets. He told Tibbets he did the right thing, and that the Japanese were fanatical and an invasion would have cost millions of lives.
