Col Paul Tibbets of the 509th Composite Bombardment Group based on Tinian island in the Pacific. The name of the modified B-29 Aircraft was the Enola Gay. For historical record there was not one, but two bombs dropped. Tibbets flew the first mission and dropped I think "Fat Boy" on Hiroshima and another pilot flew a second mission that dropped Little Man on Nagasaki.
