Enola Gay
his Boeing B-29 Super-fortress Bomber is quite a force to be reckoned with. First of all, it dropped the first of the two deadly atomic bombs used during the war. Both of these bombs were detonated in Japan. As you might already know, the first bomb dropped was released on Hiroshima and the second was on Nagasaki. Enola Gay was the plane's title, named after the pilot's mother.
