In World War II, many pilots painted special names on the nose of their fighters and bombers. These were often the names of the loved ones of the pilot. For example, fighter pilot Chuck Yeager named his fighter for his wife Glennis, painting the name "Glamorous Glennis" on the side of his fighter. Paul Tibbets was a pilot in 1945, and he painted the name of his mother, "Enola Gay" Tibbets, on the nose of his B-29 bomber. He flew the bomber "Enola Gay" on August 6, 1945, when he dropped the first nuclear bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.

There were two planes which dropped the weapons. The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, who selected the aircraft while it was still on the assembly line. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb. The bomb, code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city ofHiroshima, Japan, and caused unprecedented destruction. And the Bockscar, sometimes called Bock's Car, is the name of the United States Army Air Forces B-29 bomber that dropped a Fat Man nuclear weapon over the Japanese city of Nagasaki during World War II in the second - and last - nuclear attack in history.
