The bomb that the Enola Gay dropped was the Little Boy
The Enola Gay was painted by the crew men of that B29 and some of the men who served under Colonel Paul Tibbits.
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.
