A great uncle of mine was ground crew for the Enola Gay. From the stories he told me about reunions I don't think there was much second guessing. Congrats on having the honor of knowing Gen Tibbets, I have read his book and he comes across as the all American humble hero. I have also read one book on the bombing which sites two Japanese historians who agree that it saved lives on both sides.

The pleasure was mine, believe me. My copy of “Enola Gay” is signed and dated by the man himself and it’s one of my prize possessions.
