I am delighted that the story of this fine officer and his accomplishments are finally being told." -J.H. Doolittle, Lt. General, USAF, Retired On August 6, 1945 as the Enola Gay approached the Japanese city of Hiroshima, I fervently hoped for success in the first use of a nuclear type weapon. To me it meant putting an end to the fighting and the consequent loss of lives. In fact, I viewed my mission as one to save lives rather than take them. The intervening years has brought me many letters and personal contacts with individuals who maintain that they would not be alive if it had not been for what I did Likewise, I have been asked in letters and to my face if I was not conscious stricken for the loss of life I caused by dropping the first atomic bomb. To those who ask. I quickly reply, "NOT IN THE LEAST". - Paul W. Tibbets Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
