First part focuses on the background of the project, including set up at Wendover, then will then get more focused on the Tinian portion. I am 30 pages into "Tinian and the bomb, Project Alberta and Operation Centerboard" by Don Farrell. The Enola Gay hanger at the Wendover Airfield in Wendover, Utah, housed the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the worlds first atomic bomb. I would imagine with the security being so tight, random photos would be limited, but I too would image there has to be some.

That would be great to see some photos of the silverplate B-29s on the ramp and in the hangar at Wendover- hope your find some! They may not show much as nose art did not appear until August 45, but might catch a few serial numbers and side numbers.

I am hopeful that there are some photos of the B-29s in the hangar! In doing research I found that there is a significant amount of information from and about Wendover at the LANL library and archive. There have to be a couple of photos of Silverplate B-29s in the hangar somewhere right? But none that I have seen yet - we actually have a FOIA request in to LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory) for Wendover photos. I agree, we just have to schedule some more time and clean up the loading pit area a bit! Would be a good photo opportunity to park her over one of the remaining loading pits!Īny 1945 pictures of the 393 aircraft in the hanger before they went to Tinian?
