TIBBETS PAUL: (1915-2007) American Brigadier General in the United States Air Force, pilot of the Enola Gay, the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb, Hiroshima, 6th August 1945, during World War II. An interesting A.L.S., Paul W. Tibbets, two pages, 8vo, n.p., 2nd May 1985, to Andrew. Tibbets informs his correspondent, in full, 'From Sept. 1944 until August 1945 I had plenty of time to consider the bombs and their potential. When I dropped the one on Hiroshima I had a pretty good idea of its magnitude. Drop one again? If you could give me the same conditions that existed at that time (1941-1945) - I would not hesitate'.
