The 'Enola Gay' made history on August 6th 1945 when it was used in the atomic mission that destroyed Hiroshima. Flown to the South Pacific by its 11 man crew it was one of 15 B29s modified with new engines, propellers and faster-acting bomb bay doors specifically for the bombing mission. The crew (known as the 509th Composite Group) led by Colonel Paul Tibbets, who named the plane 'Enola Gay' after his mother. Disassembled in 1960, the plane has now been restored and is currently on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
