A prized possession!

Had the opportunity to meet with and visit with General Tibbets was back in 1986 at Maxwell AFB. A fine gentleman and a great story teller!

He was particularly proud of his role in the daylight bombing raids from England into Germany and his role as Ike's "taxi" driver to Gibraltar for Operation Torch.

I urge you to try to find a copy of The Tibbets Story. It's very interesting to read Paul Tibbet's story in his own words. It may be hard to find. It was first published in 1978 in hard copy with a paperback edition in 1981, but it's worth the effort to find one.
