- The Scientists on the planes went on to be scientists in atomic energy.
- The Air Force men either resigned or went on to serve more years in the New Air Force when it was formed after the US Army Air Force was disbanded.
- It is rumored one committed suicide.
- The mother with the name Enola Gay was not happy about her name being on that plane - son regretted it too.
- The crews were paraded around the US for a while and were relieved when that hoopla was over because they suffered from guilt feelings or had no joy over the bombings.
