7. Welcome to DU!
They were originally going to put the Enola Gay on display with nothing but an indication that the B-29 was the most technologically sophisticated aircraft of its day. Which means that ANY B-29 could be displayed, so... why the Enola Gay? It amounted to a conspiracy of silence on the part of museologists who should have had some sense of shame at the attempted betrayal of their own profession.
BTW, if you haven't yet seen a copy of War Against War!, I urge you to track it down. It's the most astonishing antiwar book I've ever seen.
