Just watched Oppenheimer but don't recall much publicity given to the pilots. Three hour movie - may have missed it!
...but don’t recall much publicity given to the pilots...”
And I’m willing to bet the pilots didn’t want any mention. There, in the past, has been too much talk of competition among the services and I believe that should never be part of the military equation. Everyone in the “game” is a team mate. The troops that prepared the aircraft by refitting the bomb with reinforcements, navigated it there, loaded up the weapons, and were instrumental in getting the aircraft launched from Tinian, one of the Mariana Islands, were all part of the mission. So is it important that one person on the team get notority for doing his job? Only for someone’s sensationalism. And God be with him, not him.
