THOMAS, GORDON and MAX MORGAN WITTS Enola Gay.
New York Stein & Day, 1977 0812821505 / 9780812821505 Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
327 pages, 11 plates, maps, cloth, dj, very good. From the publisher: "It was quite probably the most important event of World War II. Its consequences were greater than those of any other event of the war. Yet the story of the bombing of Hiroshima, the momentous flight into the future of the B-29 Enola Gay, has never before been revealed from firsthand sources. Here, then, is a reading experience you will not ever forget, from a book that has already received worldwide recognition. Award-winning writers Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts once again separate myth from reality as they retrace the steps that led the world into the atomic age. Major Claude Eatherly, believed by so many to be the Hiroshima pilot who later went insane out of remorse, wasn't aboard the Enola Gay. The real pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, was said to be unwilling to talk. He talked to the authors of this book for fifty hours. The authors then talked to each surviving crew member, to the scientists and soldiers whose war effort pointed in one direction, toward August 6, 1945, when the first aerial drop of a uranium bomb wiped out most of a city but, ironically, did not stop the war. The authors, known for Voyage of the Damned and Guernica, are famous for obeying one edict well: get both sides. And so in Enola Gay, counterpointed against the Americans' experiences, we get the firsthand story of the Japanese on the ground: Lieutenant Yokoyama, the zealous young officer whose antiaircraft battery protected Hiroshima from aerial attack; Mayor Awaya of Hiroshima, who brought his family from the dangers of Tokyo to the safety of Hiroshima; General Hata of the Second Area Army, who regarded Hiroshima as the center of the vast network of defenses against the expected Allied invasion; and many more."
