Answer 1

Put 'Little Boy atomic bomb' in your search engine and you'll get all the answers and more -- he deeply regretted what he did and ended in a mental institution with severe depression. The plane, Enola Gay, was piloted by Col. Glen Tibbets.

Answer 2

That is an urban myth. His name was Paul Tibbets and he later said that in the same situation we would do it again. Other members of the flight crew have expressed regret.

Answer 3

There seems to be a lot of misinformation here, but if the link I am posting is correct - then nobu_baby is the only one who knows what she is talking about. Read and judge for yourself:

Answer 4

He had no regrets and died peacefully.
A guy who went around for years publicly posturing and breast-beating as the pilot was later proved never to have been on the flight at all.

Answer 5

He was severely haunted by what he did. He never forgave himself and if I remember correctly he ended up committing suicide some years later.

Answer 6

I believe he committed sucide.
