Enola Gay Avionics Descriptions


The following descriptions were built for a specific purpose - to form the basis of narratives for a future interactive tour planned by the Smithsonian for the NASM web site. As such, they are not intended to be technically exhaustive, nor comprehensive from an historical standpoint. The narratives are to eventually help support 'point and click' capabilities for NASM web visitors who want to know "What's that thingie for, and what does it do?" It is a work in progress and not complete.
