Tuhia he tohutoro mo tenei irava - I muri tata mai i te urunga mai o te United States ki te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i ngana a Desfor ki te whakauru ki te Navy engari i whakakahoretia na te mea ko tana pakeke me te mea ko ia anake te puna moni a tona whanau. I muri mai ka riro ia hei kaitango whakaahua pakanga i tohaina ki nga kaimahi o te ope moana a Admiral Chester W. Nimitz o te Moananui a Kiwa. I te marama o Akuhata 1945, i whakaahuahia e Desfor te roopu "Enola Gay" i to raatau taunga ki Saipan i muri i te whakaheke i te poma ngota ki Hiroshima. I tae atu hoki ia ki te whakaahua i te tukunga o Hapani.
