Weighing in on Enola Gay

By Daniel M. Sheehan, Assistant Managing Editor

Air Force Magazine - June 1995, Pg. 83


Although the National Air and Space Museum's planned exhibit on the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and the end of World War II, was drastically scaled back, the controversy continued to boil. The Indiana General Assembly passed a resolution condemning the exhibit, calling on Museum Director Martin O. Harwit (who has since resigned) to apologize publicly to veterans, and praising the groups "who worked so hard to have the exhibit discontinued as previously planned," specifically citing AFA as one of those groups.
