    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.

ARAB SPRING, LIBYAN LIBERATION AND THE EXTERNALLY IMPOSED DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION HAIDER ALA HAMOUDIt For generations, the United States of America has played a unique role as an anchor of global security and advocate for human freedom. Mindful of the risks and costs of military action, we are naturally re- luctant to use force to solve the world's many challenges. But when our interests and values are at stake, we have a responsibility to act. -Barack Obama, March 28, 2011 (justifying the NATO intervention in Libya). I. INTRODUCTION Contemporary events in the Arab world should cause us to wonder what happened to our commitment to the democratic revolution. Ameri- ca's understanding of its own role in supporting democratic orders is, as a result of the so-called Arab Spring, as confused as it has ever been. I hope in these few pages to expound upon these ideas of democractic commitments and their consequences, which must command greater con- sideration.

SHAPING WORLD AVIATION: ANGLO-AMERICAN CIVIL AVIATION RELATIONS, 1944-1946 MARC L.J. DIERIKX* M UCH HAS BEEN written about the contents and im- plications of the Chicago Convention and the 1946 Bermuda-I Agreement. Little is known, however, about the process that led up to these major aviation agree- ments. Until recent years, historical research has been hampered by legal restrictions limiting access to govern- ment records. Based on previously unstudied documents, this article discusses the Anglo-American differences un- derlying the Chicago Convention and the Bermuda-I Agreement. I. INTRODUCTION The basic positions held by Great Britain and the United States toward post-war international civil aviation are well known. In popular terminology, the British posi- tion was one of protectionism while the United States sup- ported an open skies approach. These positions stemmed largely from the different aircraft production capability of the United States and Britain in the years following 1941.
  • Nous Avons Aussi Découvert Le Bushby Mustang II, Ressem- Blant Assez Au Mustang P-51D Mais Biplace Côte À Côte, Plus Petit Et Moins Puissant

    Nous Avons Aussi Découvert Le Bushby Mustang II, Ressem- Blant Assez Au Mustang P-51D Mais Biplace Côte À Côte, Plus Petit Et Moins Puissant

    Nous avons aussi découvert le Bushby Mustang II, ressem- blant assez au Mustang P-51D mais biplace côte à côte, plus petit et moins puissant. Et surtout : le texte trouvé affirmait qu’il s’agissait d’un ‘’dérivé du Midget Mustang dessiné pour produire un petit avion civil ressemblant au célèbre P-51 Mustang’’… Nous avons regretté de ne pas avoir exploré plus attentivement tout ce qui porta le nom de Mustang dans l’histoire de l’aviation. Nous pensions que ce n’était pas notre sujet, consacré aux lignes de l’avion apprécié – son nom important peu. Cherchant un profil du Midget Mustang (mini-Mustang, ou Mustang nain), nous avons eu la surprise de constater que cet avion ne ressemblait absolument pas à un Mustang – mis à part peut-être la dérive angulaire, dé- tail. Ce Midget Mustang ne reprenait du Mustang que le nom, mais certains acheteurs des plans montè- rent leur avion en lui donnant vraiment un air de Mustang, et cela entre dans notre sujet. Quand fut dessinée la version bi- place Mustang II, le principe de verrière bulle comme sur le P-51D fut repris, ap- paremment, pour mieux mériter ce nom, sans décevoir cer- tains clients. 107 Autre bonne surprise : Jean-Christophe Carbonel a finalement trouvé le temps de nous dessiner une caricature de P-51D pour compléter son Moeufrane. Ce fut assez différent de ce que nous avions imaginé, et en fait il s’avère illusoire de parvenir à copier le trait de génie des artistes, qui se renouvellent à chaque dessin, toujours créatif.
