I read through most of those threads and I actually might be learning
something from them. ( BTW Art, keep posting your stuff too! I try to
read most all threads unless the subject line looks absolutely boring.
) My question is, there were two A bombs dropped, but only one by the
Enola Gay. Why no controversy over the display of Bockscar? Was there
controversy over Bockscar ever??





3) Most people know the name Enola Gay not Bockscar.


This seems to tie in to other posts where folks are just plain
uneducated about stuff. I'm referring to the original Enola Gay poster
who suggested that any B29 would do. I would assume that this person
would have no problem displaying Bockscar by the Snmithsonian. That is
until he found out what role it played back then.



It's all a matter of visibility and timing.


Which seems to me a ridiculous way to begin a protest. Like a kid on a
dirt bike only knows two ways, either all the way on or all the way
off. There is no in between!
