I remember most of that crew too...
pilot Col Paul Tibbits
co-pilot Capt Robert Lewis
nav Capt Ted Van Kirk
bomber Maj Tom Ferebee
radar counter Lt Jacob Beser...
you get the idea.
Released at 9:15(L) and detonated at 1,850AGL That bonb fell for 45 seconds...part of the strategy to get the hell away from there.
You want to know who Amelia Earhart's navigator was?
