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??

I can think of some reasons Bockscar never got the protests:

1) It's been on display since before such protests were popular. I doubt it got
the media coverage Enola Gay receives.

2) It's displayed in a museum dedicated to military flight.

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

4) There are people who know about the Smithsonian yet have no clue Wright Pat
even exists.

5) stuff like that there.

It's all a matter of visibility and timing.
