The hangar itself had fallen into a state of disrepair. Before that historic flight, the Enola Gay was secretly housed in the hangar in these photos and flew practice missions from the Wendover airport. The Enola Gay was the B-29 Superfortress bomber that famously delivered “Little Boy”, the first atomic bomb, to its target in Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. The star of the show, in many ways, is the hangar in the background, which was once home to one of the most influential aircraft of all time, the Enola Gay. Some of the nicest cars and airplanes from the surrounding area show up and show off.
Each September, the city of West Wendover, Nevada hosts Wings and Wheels, a car show/air show.
