Bockscar, the second Airbenderby ~Mopar

Scraps

EVERYTIME I see the show "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or artwork from it (with the big blue arrow on his head), I picture THIS marking in my imgination, the squadron identifier for the 509th Composite Group during WW2.

Well this squadron marking came long before the show, so... *raspberry*

Since this is the B-29 named "Bockscar" and it dropped the second operational atomic bomb over Nagasaki, I would say that it could be called an "Airbender" as well!

The latest in a long line of twisted cartoon and history combinations! Actually the whole reason I took this picture!

(edit: I know it wasn't actually the second atomic bomb, it was the third. But I'm counting only operational drops, OK? Don't bury me in semantics!)

OH WOW! I never knew that before! xD

Now you've made me ask the internet what this Airbender thingy is supposed to be

But I get it I think. Lets just hope that this plane dropped the last one ever...

If I wasn't into cartoons (or had mulitple friends that liked them) I'd have no idea about Airbender either

And I second your comment about the atomic stuff. I knew that would come up.

I think everyone thinks like this, concerning the topic of dropping the bombs. At least I hopes so.
