General Tibbets was the lead pilot in the lead plane on the first American daylight bombing raid on Nazi-occupied Europe in 1942. He was later chosen to command the 509th Composite Group that trained and flew the two atomic bombs on Japan. Tibbets flew the B-29 'Enola Gay' which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This autobiography is a very candid telling of a brilliant career in the US Air Force.
