Colonel Paul Tibbets, USAAF, was the pilot. His B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, was named for his mother. He was the commander of the 509th Composite Group and on May 9, 1945, he selected the aircraft from the fifteen on the assembly line that had been specially modified to carry a nuclear bomb. Three months later, Tibbets himself flew the Enola Gay to drop the bomb on Hiroshima.
