Paul W. Tibbets - Enola Gay Pilot dies aged 92
Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the B-29 that dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima died today in Ohio.
A lifelong pilot and aviation enthusiast - one of his best comments, when hounded on the guilt he must have felt on killing so many people, was the right answer. He replied "I was doing what I was ordered to do." and then he added in an NPR interview "If I worried about the morality then I would not have been doing my duty. War is immoral, everything else is academic". How true.
