History was made on August 6th 1945 when the Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb, code-named "Little Boy", that destroyed the Japanese city of Hiroshima. An eleven man crew flew the mission from Tinian Island led by Colonel Paul Tibbetts who named the plane after his mother. Although disassembled in 1960 the plane is now fully restored and on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

This 1:144 scale, diecast replica beautifully depicts "Enola Gay," the most sophisticated, propeller-driven World War II bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb, "Little Boy," on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Collectors will marvel at details which include rotating props, rubber tires, glazed windows, intricate landing gear, and a metal stand for in-flight display of the plane heading towards its mission.
