From the New York Times best-selling coauthors comes a "fascinating...unrivaled" history of the B-29 and its fateful mission to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima (New York Times Book Review).
Painstakingly researched, the story behind the decision to send the Enola Gay to bomb Hiroshima is told through firsthand sources. From diplomatic moves behind the scenes to Japanese actions and the US Army Air Force's call to action, no detail is left untold.
Touching on the early days of the Manhattan Project and the first inkling of an atomic bomb, investigative journalist Gordon Thomas and his writing partner Max Morgan-Witts take WWII enthusiasts through the training of the crew of the Enola Gay and the challenges faced by pilot Paul Tibbets.
A must-listen audiobook that offers "minute-by-minute coverage of the critical periods" surrounding the mission, Enola Gay finally separates myth and reality from the planning of the flight to the moment over Hiroshima when the atomic age was born (Library Journal).

This book is captivating, I can’t stop listening to it. The historical content, the wit and personality of a diverse cast of characters with the overall weight of the topic and its philosophical heavyweight conversations hanging unsaid (mostly) in the air- it all spins around this one particular unit and its mission that will go down as one of the most impactful pieces of human history.
It continually blows my mind how much the actions of one person can affect something as big as a battle, or perhaps even the tide of a war. Scale that up and all the possibilities of what “could” have happened are infinite. This story is a reminder how significant we all have the possibility to be in the eyes of history. We may not know when it’s happening, but every choice we make matters on some level. It’s easy to feel like the individual doesn’t matter or is unable to affect large scale things - but history says otherwise.
A fun, fascinating listen!!
