Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSpottiswoode commented to the pilot about what a shame it was that of the thousands of the magnificent machines built, that only the B-29 one was still flying. The pilot (a World War Two veteran) was not so nostalgic, and replied "This thing was designed and built for just one purpose; to kill thousands of people at a time. One is more than enough."
- GoofsA comment was made in a conference with Col. Tibbets that changing course over the target from going upwind to downwind; "lowering the airspeed over the target" was not recommended. Airspeed is not a function of prevailing winds even if 1 to 3 times or more than that of the aircraft's speed. Groundspeed is the accurate term. Wind direction and speed has no effect on airspeed which is solely a function of aircraft attitude and power settings only.

Featured review
A Perfect 10
Perhaps the best made-for-tv movie I've ever seen. Historically correct and blended with real footage and interviews of actual participants I was spell-bound for three hours. The haunting musical score only added to the emotional story telling of this significant historical event.
