Nice pictures - and a not so nice story. I'd heard of Enola Gay but not of this one. Thanks.

Thanks Orio... Yes, standing near the plane and bomb really scared me and difficult to stop thinking about the pilots who were part of mission...
@ Carlsson: Thanks.. I considered the plane as one of the few machine which changed our thinking towards war, inter-countries relations, vision towards humanity....
@sichko: Thanks.... Enola Gay (which dropped bomb on Hiroshima) is in DC (Smithsoniums). DC museum is more focussed on tourists, so more about Space and a show case of country pride...
Dayton museum is real place for aviation fans, can think this as what Louvre for art, with out any tourists... tripod is allowed, photography is fun.. not another zoo...

TOTALLY interesting. Thank you for showing these. As Orio says, this is history. Not "good" history, but still a learning experience.

I had no idea they were there, so thanks. The Catalina is the one that I lovev - it was a great seaplane that helped end the U-boat threat and played a significant role in the Pacific theatre.

Absolutely! Looks like a suitable logo for the "Bovine University" in an older Simpsons episode. But what is it, really? Obscene country kitsch with a mass murder background, or the gallows humour or the soldiers?
Well, interesting captures anyway!

Hi Benedikt, the name "Bockscar" is a play on words which might not be obvious to everyone. The usual pilot of this plane was named Bock, so it should correctly be written as "Bock's Car", but that sounds just like Boxcar (a kind of railway truck) so they joined the words together as an amusing pun. I don't think he flew it on the Nagasaki raid.

Ah, I see 
But I meant the graphics and the typo more than the word itself. I mistook it for the name of a place at the first look.
I referred to this 50s-farm-comic-style graphics with the winged train carriage and the Nagasaki "boom"-scenario.
