Those are awesome photos!
My father-in-law was a tail gunner / turret gunner on a B-29 out of Tinian in the Pacific Theater. He was in the same air wing as the Enola Gay. Their crew went in the drink three times doing long range bombing on Japan at the end of the war. They ran out of gas twice and were shot down once. Amazingly, everyone in his crew survived all three situations, even being strafed once with bullets from a fighter while in life rafts.
I cannot argue with the phrase "The Greatest Generation"!
Thank you for sharing those photos!
