Paul tibbets (1 965438+February 23, 2005-2007165438+1October1), a pilot of the US Air Force, carried out the task of bombing Hiroshima with atomic bombs on 1945.
1In September, 944, Tibbets was selected to command a project at the Army Airport in Windover, Utah, which later became the 509th mixed unit, and was related to the Alberta project of Manhattan Project. 1On August 5th, 945, he named a B-29 bomber with the number of 44-86292 after his mother's name "Ainola Guy". At 2: 25 the next morning, the bomber Ainola Guy took off from Tianning Island for Hiroshima. At 8: 00 am local time, an atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima, killing about140,000 people.
Tibbets never regretted dropping the atomic bomb on Japan in his life. He firmly believes that "ending the killing as soon as possible" is the right action.
