Brigadier General Paul Tibbets, who piloted the B-29 bomber Enola Gay that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, died Today (Nov 1 2007). He was 92 and insisted for six decades after the war that he had no regrets about the mission and slept just fine at night.
Tibbets died at his Columbus home. He suffered from a variety of health problems and had been in decline for two months.
Tibbets had requested no funeral and no headstone, fearing it would provide his detractors with a place to protest, said Gerry Newhouse, a longtime friend. Tibbets wanted to be cremated, and have his ashes dispersed into the waters of the English Channel.
Rest in Peace
Brigadier General Paul Tibbets
United States Air Force
February 23, 1915 – November 1, 2007
Brigadier General Paul Tibbets - "I'm proud that I was able to start with nothing, plan it and have it work as perfectly as it did... I sleep clearly every night".
Brigadier General Paul Tibbets - “If you give me the same circumstances, hell yeah, I'd do it again.”
