44-86292 / 82 The "Enola Gay ". Perhaps the most famous B-29 sit on permanent display at the Smithsonian facility at Dulles. Assaigned to the 393rd Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group, she flew the August 6 mission out the Mariana Islands chain. From this nose, the bombardier aboard dropped the atomic bomb, "Little Boy", on Hiroshima resulting in approx. 90,000 enemy and approx. 20 American POWs dead. "Life is like a line drawn on water". |

44-86292 / 82 Perhaps the most significant airplane in history is the Enola Gay... This is the aircraft that, on August 6, 1945, under the command of Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., traveled to Hiroshima, Japan and dropped the world's first atomic bomb, ultimately leading to the end of the second world war. Now on display and preserved beautifully at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. |
