The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, who selected the aircraft while it was still on the assembly line. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb. The bomb, code-named Little Boy, was targeted at the city of Hiroshima, Japan, and caused unprecedented destruction. (From wikipedia) https://youtube/watch?v=JV2VOf24tS8
