B-29 Secret Mission - Paul Tibbets Interview - Part 2

This is history right here! Part 2 of an interview I did many years ago with Paul Tibbets, at my Weeks Air Museum in Miami, Florida. In Part 1, Paul talked about his famous plane, the Enola Gay B-29 Superfortress that he flew on its secret mission during World War II. In Part 2 here, Paul talks a bit more about that Secret Mission. Check out the interview!

My dad was stationed in the South Pacific in preparation for the invasion of Japan which would have taken place if Japan hadn't surrendered 👍🇺🇸🙏😐

Japan sowed the wind, Paul Tibbets unleashed the whirlwind.

So isnt this what we call a war crime

[@jamesburns2232]

Paul Tibbets was a true American. He had American Courage, American Confidence, and American Know-How to deliver the Atom Bomb to Japan. 🪖

PURE AMERICAN HERO ! PAUL TIBBETS. THANKS KERMIT

[@madmanmechanic8847]

Those were real men back then the dont make men like that anymore. They figured there would of been a loss of over a million men on the invasion of Japan these two crews and two planes saved a lot of lives

[@jonrobinson1958]

RIP Col. Tibbets THANK YOU for your service

[@tomservo5347]

I just noticed in the picture of B-17's in flight, one of them is named 'Kwiturbitchin'. You gotta love WW2 American aircrews-Tibbets being the tip of the iceberg in quality.

My dad was drafted into the Army on his 18th birthday. He did basic training at Fort Knox Kentucky, and had a two week furlough before shipping out to California for more training. While he was at home, Captain Tibbets dropped the bomb. My dad was going to be part of the mainland invasion force, and Paul Tibbets probably saved his life. My dad was part of the occupation force two years before coming home in 1947. Thank you Paul Tibbets, you were always my dad's hero, and mine too.

Indeed a Man from the Greatest Generation! The confidence, the grit, the toughness! A great Hero in every sense of the word! His mission saved thousands of American Soldiers lives! He served this Nation well! 🇺🇸👍

[@accountingstepbystep2229]

Incredible. An incredible man, an incredible interview. No better way to preserve history. Thank you Kermit! You're amazing.

[@patrickh9226]

Listening to him talk, you can understand what a demanding commander he must have been. Thank you, General!

[@turkey0165]

Tibets and Crew and everyone involved, The Best Of The Best ! 👌

[@mikebutler7605]

Another one of the greatest generation that has made my life a cakewalk here in the US. God bless Gen. Tibbets and those that served and continue to serve.

[@pkizzle65]

That era of men are nothing but spectacular! We are simple little boys compared to them. Thank you Mr. Tibbets!!!
