I was on a tour of the Smithsonian Air and Space museum annex, listening to retired WWII-era aviators tell about their experiences flying the planes they have in the annex. I was in my early 20’s at the time, and i remember casually leaning aginst something as I was listening to the guy describe the nutso-ness of just actually dropping the bomb. They were pretty sure they might make it back kind afterwards but that didn’t sound very convincing to me. Anyway he mentioned the front half of the Enola Gay is at the Air and Space museum on the Mall, which of course leads one to wonder about the back half. I didn’t wonder for long because he pointed out that I was leaning on it!
