Depictions
The training and operations of the 509th CG were dramatized in a Hollywood film, Above and Beyond (1952), with Robert Taylor cast in the role of Tibbets. The story of the 509th was re-told in 1980 in a partly fictionalized made-for-television film Enola Gay: The Men, the Mission, the Atomic Bomb, with Patrick Duffy portraying Tibbets. The operations of the 509th were treated to a lesser extent in the docudramas The Beginning or the End (1947) and Day One (1989).

Famous quotes containing the word depictions:
“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
