Hugh Fergusan of Rochester Hills was the pilot of a B-29 that accompanied the bomber "Bock's Car" on its mission to drop an atom bomb on Nagasaki during World War II. The story mentions that he was studying at Wayne State to be a doctor when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, knowing that he might soon be drafted anyway. Historians debate whether dropping the bomb was necessary, since Hiroshima had been hit two days earlier. But "the plans were in motion to drop both bombs," pointed out Wayne State history professor Mel Small. A brief feature on the Channel 4 late-night news Saturday also mentioned that Fergusan is a former WSU student.
