We offer what could easily be considered the most important uniform of the Twentieth
Century, the flight suit worn by pilot Paul W. Tibbets on August 6, 1945 when his
plane, the Enola Gay, successfully dropped the world's first atomic bomb to be used
in warfare on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, sold with the Distinguished Service
Cross awarded to Tibbets by Gen. Carl Spaatz upon Tibbets' return to Tinian the
same day.
