This guy can be a real turd sometimes. He is kind of a tinfoil nut, but when he hits something he hits it dead on.

One minor correction. The Enola Gay only dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Bockscar was the B-29 that dropped on Nagasaki.

Ahhh, now you got me.
I wanna say the Smithsonian at Dulles, but I'm not sure.

You would be correct. I was too busy trying to get over his FDR comment. He is an isolationist and he believes every war we get into somehow benefits some hidden power.

If anyone says that the bomb shouldn't have been used then they should go talk to one of the soldiers, sailors or airmen who were to be part of the invasion force of Japan.

Yes, it was Bock's Car that dropped Fat Man over Nagasaki. However, Fred Bock (for whom the aircraft was named) wasn't the pilot. Major Charles Sweeney flew Bock's Car on the mission because his aircraft, The Great Artise was assigned as the instrument aircraft and it would have been a waste of time to switch all of the instrumentation around.

"where is that plane?"
Try the U.S. Air Force Museum, Dayton, Ohio. Undoubtedly the best aviation museum in the world.
To: Petronski
You are correct. The Space Shuttle Enterprise is also there.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were referring to the Enola Gay.
To: CWOJackson
He never said Enola was involved in Nagasaki.

No historian can be taken seriously if he uses the term "Jap."

Not a historian. He is a gold trader.

"The Smithsonian has completed a cosmetic restoration of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the bombs..."
To: Nick The Freeper; Petronski; CWOJackson
As CWOJackson said,
Bock's Car is at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
The Enola Gay is at the Smithsonian.

I'm thinking of the Enola Gay being at Dulles, as you later pointed out.
Bock's Car is at Wright-Patterson.

He's writing a historical essay. He is setting himself up as knowledgable on this subject. The use of the term "Jap," however, shows that he is nothing more than an ideologue writing a screed.
I need read no more. No serious expert would ever use a racial slur in a serious article.
