Paul Tibbets Autograph Letter Signed — Explains Why He Chose the Name “Enola Gay”
Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. (23 February 1915 – 1 November 2007) was a brigadier general in the United States Air Force. He is best known as the pilot who flew the B-29 Superfortress known as the Enola Gay (named after his mother) when it dropped Little Boy, the first of two atomic bombs used in warfare, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
General Paul Tibbets autograph letter signed, dated 21 February 1986. Handwritten letter, addressed to a Mr. Schwab, reads in part, “…I chose Enola Gay because I knew there would be no duplication of that name on any other bomber aircraft AND because she [Tibbet’s mother] was the only member of our family to support me in my desire to take up flying…She was never bothered by my naming the plane after her…Sincerely / Paul W. Tibbets”. Letter, measuring 7.25″ x 7.5″ is on two pages with rounded edges and one light fold. Near fine. Sold for $1,500.
