Thank you for adding your comments to ours. We often forget that in addition to all those precious lives saved (both Japanese and American) by ending the war early and making an invasion unnecessary were the countless lives of all their progeny and all future generations thereof. Tibbets and his crew were not asked their opinions they were doing their job as directed by the President himself. They were trained specifically for their mission and they did their job as expected. Having said that, seldom if ever have so few men been entrusted with such a world changing task.
Dux;
I have received your e-mail and replied to it. As you have suggested I have bumped the 5,000 post graphic to this page as well for those who might have missed it. We should be hearing from a tardy C51 sometime later today.
