Speaking of which, we really need to get a scale model of good ol' Victor 82 and Victor 77. 
Enola Gay was the finest of the Silverplate bombers. Now that would be a scale model I would enjoy building. Bockscar was a decent Silverplate with a fuel transfer problem. That poor sucker gave Sweeney and crew so much trouble on the Kokura/Nagasaki mission; they nearly ran out of gas trying to get to Okinawa. Sweeney wanted to use his plane, The Great Artiste, but it was configured to carry the test equipment, so the Major traded planes with Captain Fred Bock.
On the night of the mission, the flight engineer told Sweeney that they couldn't use the reserve tank. Sweeney went anyway, in a mission that was to be filled with missed rendevous, overcast skies, and flak and Zeros over Kokura. They had seven gallons of gas when they got to Okinawa.
The 509th Composite Group was probably the finest, most elite bombing outfit of the war. It had to be; Paul Tibbets wouldn't have had it any other way.
Be Seeing You,
