Paul Tibbets
He had his first airplane ride at 12, and
from then on he was hooked on flying. Paul Tibbets flew 25 missions in
B-17s, including the first American Flying 
Fortress raid against occupied Europe. But Tibbets gained his fame—and
notoriety—on August 6, 1945. On that day, the Enola Gay lifted off North
Field with Tibbets and his crew en route to Hiroshima. At 9:15 am the
world's first atomic bomb exploded, and the course of history was forever
changed.
