The Enola Gay was painted by the crew men of that B29 and some of the men who served under Colonel Paul Tibbits.

The Enola Gay wasn't the atomic bomb. That honor goes to Little Boy and Fat Man. The Enola Gay was the plane specially created to drop the atomic bombs :)
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.
