The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, who selected the aircraft while it was still on the assembly line.

The bomb, code-named 'Little Boy', was targeted at the city of Hiroshima, Japan, and caused unprecedented destruction.
