Default 3 out of 4

1. Paul Tibbets, who just recently died.

2. Don't know.

3. Enola Gay is either his Mother, or Grandmother's name. "Enola" is "Alone" spelled backwards.

4. His son is, I think LtCol Paul Tibbets the 3rd, and is the Squadron Commander of the B-2 Squadron at Whiteman. The Squadron has the same designation (507th BS?) as the original squadron that Tibbets was in for the Hiroshima drop.
