now if you drop baby ruth candy bars from a moving plane thats going at least 60 mph ....into a crowd????? wouldn't that hurt like a mutha to get hit by one?
so he went from dropping candy bars to dropping atomic bombs...
Read "Rain of Ruin", this man was a professional soldier and a hero. My dad, who was on duty at Tinian when the plane took off said that when they were told what the mission was all about and the bomb successfully dropped and operated, he knew right then for the first time he would survive the war. He said everyone in his unit knew that if they had had to invade Japan, especially after being in on the invasion of Saipan (just north of Tinian) and Pelelieu and his being wounded twice on each island that he would surely be killed.
God rest Paul Tibbets soul and I thank him for saving my Dad's life.
You know its a shame that he doesn't want a funeral or a headstone. General Tibbetts doesn't want the contrarians have someplace to come to dishonor him. A conservative estimate was 1 1/2 million more allied casualties if Japan had to be invaded. Bring back Harry Truman.
