Enola Gay and Hiroshima mission, 1945. The aircraft is at North Field, an airfield on Tinian in the Mariana Islands, where preparations took place for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This airfield was where US B-29 bombers took off from on their missions to drop the atomic bombs 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man' on the two Japanese cities. The bombings took place on 6 and 9 August 1945, devastating the cities and killing hundreds of thousands, leading to a swift end to World War II. Enola Gay was the aircraft used to deliver 'Little Boy', returning to its North Field base later that day. Deployment of the US Air Force's 509th Composite Group to Tinian began in May 1945, with the bombs arriving on the island in late July and early August.

Close shot medals STORYLINE On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Japanese surrender in World War Two, more than one hundred veteran pilots who fought the Japanese during the war gathered at the Beijing Aviation Museum in Beijing to relive their memories of a battle hard won. A simulated air battle was performed at the Beijing Aviation Museum. Model aeroplanes representing the Japanese bombers, and the bombers flown by the so-called "Flying Tigers" - the American volunteer pilots group in China during World War II took part. The simulated battle was based on a real one which took place in December 1944 in the sky over China, when four Japanese bombers, covered by 16 fighters, bombed southwest China. On their way back to the base, eight Flying Tigers suddenly attacked them and most of the Japanese planes were shot down. The Flying Tigers were a group of American fighter pilots that flew for China in the early part of 1942. Led by Colonel Claire Chennault, they were actually called the "American Volunteer Group" (AVG), and achieved good success in their aerial battles against the Japanese. The war between China and Japan started in July 1937 and ended on August 15th of 1945 when Japan announced its surrender.
