Enola Gay Hangar

[partheniaparthenia]

I would think the plane itself would be enough. Is there a real point to preserving something like a hangar. I don't think there are similar sorts of buildings preserved in the UK where the war was actually fought out for the most part. The best place to preserve any war attributed sites would be Pearl Harbor or the battlefields where soldiers died the cemeteries where they were buried. Its extremely important to know that Preservation is selecting the right things to save this is an enigma.

@partheniaparthenia With heavy heart I agree with you on this. There are no memorials of the pox ridden blankets, neither should there be of the modern tools used to take life but as you say here those who died fighting and the cause should be remembered and maybe they wont be repeated.

The Nagasaki and hiroshima bombings killed 195000 people, thats alot of Civilians. This is a monument over American warcrimes and should be restored just as Auswitch in polen have been.

as an aviation enthusiast, why preserve a genocide plane? that damn thing ended ww2, but started the nuclear era.

The B-29 was just a bomber... nothing more. The two dropped nukes and politics... ended the war. The "Manhattan Project"... started the nuclear era.
