Well said. Gen Tibbets was considered one of the very best "big plane" pilots. In fact, he served as Eisenhower's personal pilot in flying the Gen from England to the African continent at the start of the North Africa operations.
It seems certain that his responsibilities troubled him greatly. We will never know how or what he felt. May he rest in peace.
