Studs Terkel: We're seated here, two old gaffers. Here's a bit of American history yet to reach the history books - an interview by Studs Terkel with Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the B-29 that dropped the first atom bomb. Subject: Pilot of Enola Gay Interview by Studs Terkel (My brother served in the army Jan 41 to Jan 46, most of that time as one of the best air corps navigators).anyway, I think this article should be saved and passed on down through the generations that follow us, and thanks to Steve Albright for bringing this article to my attention.
Some to whom I'm sending this served in WW II, many others were just kids at the time, but well we remember hearing or worrying about our older siblings, aunts, uncles, or neighbor's kids who were in the service somewhere around the globe. This is a long read, but it pretty much summarizes one of the most important events in world history.
