The answer to yesterday's question is:
Cape Girardeau, Missouri; and Sacramento, California.
Today's question is:

ReplyDeleteThat's the "Enola Gay." Can't remember the pilot's name.
ReplyDeleteBut the 2nd atomic bomb was dropped by the B-29 "Bock's Car" onto Nagasaki--do I get bonus points for knowing that?!

ReplyDeletePilot: COL Paul Tibbets. He just died within the last year or two.

ReplyDeleteI'm going to kick myself when you post the name of the pilot because I know it. I hate brain cramps.
Just came to me, Paul Tibbets.
ReplyDeleteI knew I knew it. Just needed to think about something else for a minute. I read his biography in high school.
COL Paul Tibbets, Pilot-in-Command of the Enola Gay, named after his mother.
ReplyDeleteThe aircraft was named the "Enola Gay" and the pilot was named, I believe, Tippet?
ReplyDeleteEnola Gay's husband!
