Enola Gay Revisited

January 19, 2021

In 1945, the American B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” deployed an atomic weapon on the city of Hiroshima. The history and memories surrounding this event are continually contentious, so much so, that in the 1990s, a Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum exhibit saw a media frenzy due to its representation. In this episode, Jacob and Gray revisit this interpretive issue. They consider the controversy, multiple perspectives, personal opinions, and how those in interpretation can learn from it.
