Enola Gay: The Men, The Mission, The Atomic Bomb — United States
The 1980 TV film follows the crew of the B-29 Enola Gay and the preparation on Tinian Island before the first atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
Tinian Island was the largest US airfield complex in the Pacific — 'North Field' alone was the busiest airfield in the world in 1945. The Enola Gay, commanded by Colonel Paul Tibbets, took off from Tinian's North Field on 6 August 1945. The bomb 'Little Boy' was assembled in a pit dug specially on the island. The film stars Robert Foxworth as Tibbets.
