Rightly it received not a single award nomination. Given these two superb renderings of the genuinely world shattering story I cannot imagine how "Enola Gay etc" came to be conceived let alone made. Why did Japan surrender The Enola Gay an American plane dropped two Atomic Bombs the first one on the 6th of August on Hiroshima, then the second on.
NAME OF ENOLA GAY PILOT SERIES
Even better was the 1980 mini series "Oppenheimer" with Sam Waterston in the title role. Paul Tibbets was the captain of the Enola Gay. David Strathairn excellent as Oppenheimer.

NAME OF ENOLA GAY PILOT FULL
Day One seemed to give absolute full and accurate measure to the characters and events - the first IMDb review on it is particularly worth reading. I contrasted it with the superb Emmy-awarded "Day One" with Brian Dennehy as General Groves, a military bulldozer whose responsibility it was to drive the immense project forward often in the face of the sophisticated scruples of the brilliant scientists he had no choice but to work with. Tibbets Jr., 30, had handpicked the airplane on the assembly line in Nebraska three months before and had just had his mother’s name, Enola Gay, painted in black.

How could such a huge, dramatic and sombre story receive such treatment? It was not simply incompetent but given the gravity of the subject matter, distasteful. Tibbets Jr., was assigned to a predecessor of the 509th Bomb Wing when he piloted the Enola Gay in the world's first atomic bomb mission on Aug. The scene exactly resembled that in those many many comic movies set the armed forces - from Operation Petticoat to Sargeant Bilko. In a knockabout comic scene in "the john" a security man disguised as a plumber has been caught by the aircrew listening in to their conversations. In real life the recording of the plane intercom picked up the reaction of one of the crew: "My God, what have we done?" I assumed that I'd seen an unrepresentative section so watched a repeat.

On 6 August 1945, the crew of the Enola Gay dropped the first nuclear bomb used in war on the. A extraordinary miscasting was Patrick Duffy, Dallas's Bobby Ewing, as the Enola Gay's pilot - bland and soft showing no evidence of stress or emotion that even the grittiest (and gritty the pilot must have been) would have shown. The Enola Gay was a US Army Air corp B-29, named for pilot (then) Colonel Paul Tibbet's mother. On first viewing I caught just the section of the bomb drop and was surprised at the fumbling and utter flatness of the treatment of what for the world, let alone the crew, was such a momentous event.
