On 11/01/07, the NYT obits reported the death of Paul Tibbets Jr., the pilot of the Enola Gay, which dropped the first A-bomb on Japan. The obit states: "His mother, the former Enola Gay Haggard, grew up on an Iowa farm and was named for a character in a novel her father was reading shortly before she was born."
Can't find reference to the particular novel or information on the character. I wonder if, as many know, the fact that "Enola" spelled backwards is "alone" has any significance in the book?
