The B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay History:
Enola Gay was built by the Glenn L. Martin Company (now Lockheed Martin) at its Bellevue, Nebraska, plant at what is now known as Offutt Air Force Base and was personally selected by Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, Jr. It is the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb, to be used in war, by the USSAF in the attack on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, just before the end of World War II.
The aircraft was accepted by the USAAF on 18 May 1945, and assigned to Crew B-9 who flew the bomber from Omaha to the 509th's base at Wendover Army Air Field, Utah on 14 June 1945. Thirteen days later, the aircraft left Wendover for Guam, where it received a bomb bay modification and flew toTinian on 6 July.
The Hiroshima mission had been described by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts in Enola Gay book as tactically flawless, and Enola Gay returned safely to its base on Tinian to great fanfare on the base. The first atomic bombing was followed three days later by another B-29.
On 6 November 1945, Lewis flew the Enola Gay back to the United States, arriving at the 509th's new base at Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico, on 8 November.
