enola gäy

On 5 August 1945, during preparation for the first atomic mission, Colonel Paul W Tibbets assumed command of the aircraft and named it after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets. When it came to selecting a name for the plane, Tibbets later recalled that:
"my thoughts turned at this point to my courageous red-haired mother, whose quiet confidence had been a source of strength to me since boyhood, and particularly during the soul-searching period when I decided to give up a medical career to become a military pilot. At a time when Dad had thought I had lost my marbles, she had taken my side and said, "I know you will be all right son."
