The "Enola Gay" was the name of the B-29 bomber which droped the atom bomb on Hiroshima. If I remember correctly it was the piloyts wifes name.

"Enola Gay" -> atom bomb on Hiroshima -> "famous plane"???

I hope, it's a terrible misunderstanding...

Misunderstanding in what way?

And "orchestral manouvres in the dark" or short OMD
made a song about it, named "Enola Gay."

And the enola gay was one of the airplanes that did drop the bomb.

I looked to the WWW to see pictures of the airplane and in my memory
it seemed to have pinup art on it, but it seems just to have the letters
enola gay on it in black.
Maybe it was the airplane that dropped the bomb on nagasaki that had
the nose plane art on it, memory is a funny thing.

Hmm, but many airplanes did have at drawings on the nose
something like on this website, the bottom one is also is kinda halloweenish.
