This is unfortunate as it comes at a time when I was having a detailed read through about the event that put an end the war. And all of a sudden the pilot of the very Enola Gay passes. He'll be missed. By most.
When they were training for the mission, they had no idea. I think it was the night before the mission that they were told what the weapon was actually capable of.
They knew about it for a while, or at least some members of the crew did, as they were required to arm the bomb in flight. They knew what they were dropping.
It would of happened any way, if we were to go fight on land in Japan we would lose so many men, and the Japan would lose almost there whole population considering that even civilians would of been apart of the war. They were raised to fight to the last remaining person.

Actually, I think Paul Tibbets took the bombing better than the pilot of the B-29 that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. His name will follow...
May Tibbets rest in peace after a long life.
EDIT: Actually, I was wrong, but Paul Tibbets went under more fire from the Japanese in his life afterwards than the other B-29 pilot, Major Charles W. Sweeney, flying Bockscar.
