COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Gene Frazier | 792nd Squadron, 468th Bomb Group, 58th Bomb Wing - Army Air Corps

2:37   |   There was a secret unit on Tinian at the air base. B-29 pilot Gene Frazier recalls how he was instructed to stay away from their operations, and how one night, all the crews were rousted and trucked to the other end of the island, then almost immediately returned to their barracks. He later found out the unit had loaded the Enola Gay and the midnight move was for his own safety.
