Wow. The beginning and the end, eh?

It was a guess. George had guessed McGovern or I probably would have myself.
We can make it harder...What was the name of the B-17?
Enola Bi?

Google reveals it, of course.
But that, as well as the name of his regular plane were both (as 89th says) "badass."

Nope.
Tibet's plane was Red Gremlin, but that's not the plane he flew on the mission, nor did he fly with his regular crew. He flew another B-17 and was not given publicity for the mission at the time.

The plane Tibbets flew was Butcher Shop.

Correct. Which translates to me that 3 out of 4 subs never saw the surface again. Much respect for any sailor who opted for this type of service.

That's really an amazing statistic.
"Hans, we wish you to enlist in our U-Boat fleet. There's a 75% chance that you will not survive. Sign here...."
