In sheer physical size, the B-29 Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945, was the largest restoration project ever undertaken by the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. In this long-form podcast, NASM's Anne McCombs and Bob McLean explain what it took to get the airplane into the same shape it was when it completed its historic mission.
