About a week and a half ago, I heard on a newscast that Brig. Gen. Paul Tibbetts (USAF, Ret.) who, as a Colonel, commanded the flight of the Enola Gay which dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima passed away on September 1.
He had purposely stayed out of the limelight for years because of the controversy surrounding the mission but reportedly had no regrets because it helped shorten the war.
