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 remember one of the statements posed by the original poster was that " The plane, in fact, differs little from other B-29s and gains its notoriety only from the deadly and history-altering nature of its mission." Okay, so what if the Smithsonian didn't display the Enola Gay, how about Bockscar? How about "The Great Artiste"? Would that be less controversial?? It flew along side both bomb runs! Why is it only the Enola Gay that stirs this stuff up? Past and present? |
