Standing here in front of Bockscar, it’s hard not to feel the weight of this moment in history. What do you think when you see artifacts like this? Do they make the events feel more real, or bring up questions for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this unique piece of WWII history!
Great job! Thanks for creating this
Very interesting video! Nicely done. I appreciated your commentary in the closing.
Enola Gay and this plane saved American lives! One of those was my grandfather!
Nothing eerie about it, that plane saved thousands of lives and ended a war we did not start. No need to apologize.
My dad was a B-29 Navigator. The last of his eight missions was a weather recon over Nagasaki just hours before the city was chosen as an alternative target for the A-bomb. Dad and the crew had no idea what was coming. They were unhappy about having to fly from Tinian to Japan and back and not drop any bombs.
Good to see that she is back on display. Last time I was there Memphis Belle had taken her spot
