Taking the question simply as it is asked - - the answer is, no.

* One crewman, a Major Ferebee ihad a nervous breakdown after the war, he was the bombardier who actually released the bomb and all the havoc this raised. * The craft's Command Pilot, Colonel Tibbets, died of natural causes a few years ago. It is true that psychiatric casualties ran high among Bomber crews owing to destruction of civil or noncombatant targets. It should be understood ( this was misrepresented in the film about the misson (Above and Beyond) that the target, Hiroshima, offered no resistance by flak or fighter intercepts.

Additionally, no member of the crew of the Enola Gay received the Congressional Medal of Honor as suggested in Above and Beyond.
