I talked to a man who was in the Army on Tinian the day they loaded up the Enola Gay. He remembers watching it but it was covered up so he wasn’t sure what was going on. The plane took off and returned and he remembers serving Colonial Tibbetts in the officer;s club where Tibbetts kept going on “what we have done?” He passed away this year at the age of 90. It’s amazing to talk to someone who was there. BTW, he remembers Bocks Car too.
