Since this seems to have little to do with audio, can't resist a bit
of pub quiz trivia: who was the aircraft engineer who re-designed
the bomb bay of the Boeing "Enola Gay" to accept the Hiroshima bomb?
Points deducted for Googling.

Not sure if googling would work, as Enola Gay is one of 15 B-29s
modified specifically for the atomic bomb missions. The planes were
fitted with new engines and propellers and faster-acting pneumatic bomb
bay doors in total over 500 likee it where manufactured at the Glenn L.
Martin Aircraft Factory in Omaha ?

Pretty good, but no cigar - how's that for a hint?


Groucho Marx?
