    AFA’s Enola Gay Controversy Archive Collection www.airforcemag.com The Smithsonian and the Enola Gay From the Air Force Association’s Enola Gay Controversy archive collection Online at www.airforcemag.com The Crew The Commander Paul Warfield Tibbets was born in Quincy, Ill., Feb. 23, 1915. He joined the Army in 1937, became an aviation cadet, and earned his wings and commission in 1938. In the early years of World War II, Tibbets was an outstanding B-17 pilot and squadron commander in Europe. He was chosen to be a test pilot for the B-29, then in development. In September 1944, Lt. Col. Tibbets was picked to organize and train a unit to deliver the atomic bomb. He was promoted to colonel in January 1945. In May 1945, Tibbets took his unit, the 509th Composite Group, to Tinian, from where it flew the atomic bomb missions against Japan in August. After the war, Tibbets stayed in the Air Force. One of his assignments was heading the bomber requirements branch at the Pentagon during the development of the B-47 jet bomber. He retired as a brigadier general in 1966. In civilian life, he rose to chairman of the board of Executive Jet Aviation in Columbus, Ohio, retiring from that post in 1986. At the dedication of the National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar- Hazy Center in December 2003, the 88-year-old Tibbets stood in front of the restored Enola Gay, shaking hands and receiving the high regard of visitors.

  • Air War College Resident Curriculum Electives for the Master's In
    1 Air War College Resident Curriculum Electives for the Master’s in Strategic Studies All Air War College (AWC) students within the regular curriculum must complete four semester hours in the electives program. Electives enhance and complement the core curriculum by providing students with opportunities to achieve greater depth and breadth of understanding in issues of special interest and provide the AWC curriculum with the flexibility to adapt quickly to changes in international and domestic security environments. Some of these electives, along with some of the electives offered by Air Command and Staff College, will be opened up to allow for participation from students both from AWC and ACSC. Elective offerings vary upon the needs expressed by the National Defense Strategy and the input by the leaders of the USAF and our own leadership at the AWC and Air University. The electives listed below are NOT all offered in the course of one year. Many will be repeated more than once in a year, some only offered every other year or as needed. Special Research Task Forces and Multiple-Term Electives These special electives help select groups of students focus directly on issues/topics for strategic leaders in functional or combatant commands. These electives are listed directly below. EL6426 Group Research: Airpower Studies (Classified, US Personnel) 4 Semester Hours This is a two-part seminar consisting of 20 instructional periods and will include students from AWC and ACSC. The first phase focuses broadly on readings, doctrine and discussions of airpower, national security, and military operations. The second phase continues with a more focused study and the development of research projects that meet the requirements of this research seminar, support the student’s PSP for AWC, and assist larger USAF requirements.

After looking at locations in Florida, Wilbur came to Montgomery, Alabama in February 1910 and decided to open the nation’s first civilian flying school on an old cotton plantation near Montgomery that subsequently become Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB).

The United States Army agrees, and has hand-picked him for enrollment in the prestigious National War College (NWC), the highest level of professional military education for officers. The NWC is a component of the National Defense University located in Washington, D.C., that provides graduate-level instruction to senior military officers and civilians to prepare them for senior leadership assignments and responsibilities. The National War College educates future leaders of the Armed Forces, Department of State, and other civilian agencies for high-level policy, command and staff responsibilities by conducting a senior-level course of study in national security strategy. Approximately 800 students are enrolled at one time: half in a two-year distance learning program, the other half in a 10-month, on-campus, full-time resident program. Starting this summer, John is going to be participating in the full-time resident program. Very few students are selected from the Army Reserves for the resident program, which makes this honor even more compelling. Upon completion in May 2018, John will receive a Master’s Degree in National Security Strategy. John’s Background John has always placed a premium on the concept of service; service to his community and to his country.
