This is a movie about the pilot of the Enola Gay and what he went through prior to dropping the bomb on Japan. It's an oldie and in black and white, but it was very good. Most people obviously know that this was the first atomic bomb used in war and some even know of the perils of Col. Paul Tibbet Jr. after the war. But this movie, and he was the technical director of the movie and said that it was very close to the truth, shows how he ended up with the job and what he went through before the bomb was dropped. Robert Taylor plays Tibbet and did a wonderful job. The movie is a drama with some love interest thrown in, but that only adds to the movie. If you've never seen this movie, give it a shot. I think you'll like it.
