I got question guys maybe Miltary freepers tell me this he name the plane after HIS OWN MOTHER
That cold
"Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped "Little Boy", the first atomic bomb ever used in war, when the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) attacked Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, just before the end of World War II. Because of its roles in the atomic bombings of Japan, its name has been synonymous with the bombings themselves. It was named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot."
Dear Seven,
It would only be cold if there was something bad about his plane or his mission. Neither is true so it was an honorable thing to do.
What’s cold about honoring his mother?
