Yes, but they had no idea how much damage it would cause.
I know for a fact that my Grandfather Joseph Bubbico fueled the Enola Gay before it dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. It's not that big of a deal, but I would love for the military to release the names of the whole crew air and ground. Joseph Bubbico fueled the Enola Gay.
I want to know the answer for my school general knowledge quiz Answer: The Enola Gay was a B-29 that dropped the bomb in 1945. The B-52 made it first flight in 1952 and went into service in 1955, 10 years after WWII.
Enola Gay is the name of the modified B-29 Super fortress (plane) that dropped the Bomb on Japan. It has a place in history as being the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb upon a hostile country. #1 squadron, if memory serves correctly is the squadron that was designated to be the nuclear capable A-bomb delivery squadron. As a further footnote, this squadron after the war ended up at a little place known as Roswell, and you know what happened or allegedly happened there .
This was a B-29 code-named Bock"s Car. For all intents and purposes similar to the Enola Gay, also a B-29. The latter craft dropped a different type of atomic bomb, a Plutonium bomb with implosion type (Blows inward) fuses strapped around the perimeter. owing to its girth, this type of bomb was called (Fat Man). The more slender projectile dropped on Hiroshima was the (Little Boy) type. the proposed usage of the code name (Thin Man, thought to be poking fun at FDR, then recently deceased) was not used. Bombs away! but remember, let he among you who has done no wrong, release the next atomic bomb!-Confucius say. _________________________________________________________- It is ironic that Fat Man had more impact than Little Boy on the Japanese. Although the damage was less, it still wrecked the city enough to convince Japan that the war was over. Many know the name of Enola Gay, but only a few know the name of of Bock's Car. Kokura was the primary target for the second A-bombing, but it was spared by bad weather, so Nagasaki was bombed instead. The US did not have a third A-bomb built, but Japan did not know that. * Bock's Car was not a code name. It was a bomber name given to the B-29 because the pilot was Captain Bock. The Enola Gay was flown by Colonel Tibbets and named after his mother. US bombers in World War 2 were given unofficial names. * The B-29 The Great Artiste accompanied Enola Gay on the Hiroshima bombing, flown by Major Sweeney. For Nagasaki, The Great Artiste also accompanied Bock's Car, but with Major Sweeney at the controls of Bock's Car, and Captain Bock flying The Great Artiste. Why the two pilots switched bombers is unclear. * After the war, the 509th Bomb Group was transferred from Tinian to Roswell, New Mexico where as we all know strange things happened in 1947. To this day the 509th remains the only military unit to deliver nuclear weapons in wartime.
I know of no atomic bomb tests done in Arizona.

The Enola Gay was escorted by two other bombers which we don't know the names.
Who is Henry husdon crew]
Most of them lived to be fairly old. I believe one died around 1960, but the rest lived on for many years. Colonel Tibbetts, the pilot, died just four of five years ago. Several of them died of cancer, whether partially due to radiation exposure no one will ever know. I have never heard that Ferrebee, the bombardier who actually released the bomb, has died. Last I knew he was living in Florida. Tibbett's recorded an interview several years before his death. The interviewer asked how he felt about having dropped the bomb. He replied "I never lost a minute's sleep over it."
I don't know all I know is he had 40 crew members

well usually if you are terrorist you can only tell where you can plant the bomb by looking at the mini map and there it will show you the out line of where you can plant the bomb. If you dont know the location of the bomb site all the maps have lettering A or B for the bomb sites that will lead you to it.
moorpark madness is the bomb
