	H-ASIA: "Enola Gay" Thread
		The exhibit in question will display the front 56 feet of the Enola Gay's fuselage (the whole plane is far too large for the museum), with much of the remaining display space devoted to the development of the atomic bomb, its effects on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and anti-nuclear sentiments in the postwar era.
		Nevertheless, the Enola Gay bombardier's instructions were to target the bomb on the center of this civilian city.
		Although the Enola Gay exhibit had nothing to do with art it had very much to do with exhibition policy in public museums and to that extent the Smithsonian curators were seen as either as heros or villains by the same people who were involved in the earlier debates.
