Old Enola Gay hangar being restored - Wendover » When Culp Construction supervisor Jim Peterson comes into the pitch-black Enola Gay hangar to begin work, he says he often hears unusual sounds different from the ubiquitous pigeons that haunt the aging building. "I've heard some things," he said. "I've heard people talking. Maybe some of the old boys are back." Peterson and Wendover Historic Airfield President Jim Petersen are among those trying to protect the hangar built to house the Enola Gay and Bockscar B-29 Superfortresses, honoring the legacy of the "old boys" who trained here. The two huge planes were part of a secret mission that started in December of 1944. Crew members of the 509th Composite Group trained here to drop the first atomic bombs on Japan that ended World War II in 1945. The famous planes were used to drop those bombs.The hangar and much of the base that once consisted of 668 buildings housing 20,000 soldiers fell into disrepair. Since taking over managing the airfield and forming the nonprofit to find money to preserve and restore some of the remaining buildings in 2001, Petersen has slowly seen progress…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - A year ago today I created this blog as an extension of my own fascination with aviation history, from the aircraft to the personalities that shaped the development and use of aviation since its earliest days. I've always been an inverterate reader when it comes to aviation books and any given time I'll have several books I'm rotating through covering diverse topics in aviation history. I started this blog last March to share even just a bit of the enjoyment I get out of my trips through the history of flight and that became the subtitle for Aviation Trivia of the Day- "Short Trips on the Long Road of Aviation History"…
