Naval museum likely to claim bomber if it is raised - Union-Tribune Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO — Is a custody battle likely between two aviation museums for the rare Navy SB2C-4 Helldiver bomber that's been resting on the muddy bottom of Lower Otay Reservoir?
Probably not, said retired Capt. Bob Rasmussen, director of the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Fla.
Reached Friday at the museum, Rasmussen said it's "unlikely" that the San Diego Air & Space Museum will permanently keep the plane, which crashed in 1945 and remains buried in mud at the reservoir.
James Kidrick, president and chief executive of the San Diego museum in Balboa Park, said Friday that he would like to see the plane stay here.
Not happening, Rasmussen said.
"There are certain circumstances where it might be there for a while," Rasmussen said. "But fortunately, the Navy owns the plane. We may be able to arrange for it to be there (in San Diego) on loan for a while. But I told Jim that he'll get it when I'm 150 years old. The bottom line is this plane is rare, and this is the national aviation museum. It belongs here." ...

World War II: Little Boy = Big Devastation from About.com Military History
July 26, 1945 - USS Indianapolis delivers the "Little Boy" atomic bomb (left) to Tinian. Created during the super-secret Manhattan Project, Little Boy was the first atomic bomb produced by the United States. A "gun-type" atomic weapon, it required one piece of uranium-235 to be fired into another to create a nuclear chain reaction. Created by a team led by A. Francis Birch, Little Boy's design was not tested prior to construction due to a lack of uranium. While the bomb itself was built by May 1945, the uranium for its core was not available until July. Rushed to Tinian, it was assembled and ready for use by August 1. With the decision to employ Little Boy against Hiroshima, the bomb was loaded aboard the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay. Attacking the city on August 6, the bomb performed as planned, destroying much of the city and killing between 70,000-80,000. Little Boy was followed three days later by the use of the plutonium-fueled "Fat Man" bomb on Nagasaki. Combined, the two bombs compelled Japan to bring World War II to a close.
