Met General Paul Tibbets at an air show at Lunken Field in Cincinnati, OH back in 2004. He was at a book signing for his updated version of the book Enola Gay.
He died in 2007 never expressing regret for his actions. Telling inquisitors that he slept fine. "The objective was to stop the fighting, thereby saving further loss of life. Those of us who gained that victory have nothing to be ashamed of; neither do we offer any apology."
Paul Tibbets signed his book on 9-11-04.

Lucky you. Tibbets flew Mark Clark and his small group to Gibraltar, landing his bomber, the Red Gremlin, on the short Gibraltar airfield. It had never been done before. Clark set out by submarine on a secret mission in the runup to Operation Torch. Tibbets then flew Eisenhower to Gibraltar just before the landings of operation Torch which opened America’s participation in the European theater of Operations, November 1942.
