About this listen
In this episode of our Flights series, James tells the harrowing story of the Enola Gay — the B-29 bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945. This isn't just a tale of aviation, but of science, war, and a moment that forever changed the course of human history.
We explore the mission from the perspective of the crew, the role of pilot Paul Tibbets, and the influence of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. James breaks down the events leading up to the bombing, the immediate and long-term aftermath, and the moral questions that still haunt us today.
Whether you’ve seen Oppenheimer or just want to better understand this pivotal moment in world history, this episode offers a gripping and sobering look at the flight that altered everything.
