Enola Gay with is original circle arrow tail marking used by the 509th, the atomic bomb unit. This was changed soon after arriving at Tinian to circle R to disguise the unit among other B-29 squadrons. Enola Gay wore the circle R tail markings when it dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. There was no serial displayed on the fin with either markings. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland This photo was added on 12 September 2022, and has since been viewed 689 times. |
