The Arado Ar 234 Blitz (Lightning) was the world's first operational jet powered bomber, built by the Arado company in the closing stages of World War II. In the field it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be nearly impossible to intercept. |

The German Arado 234 was the very first purpose-built jet bomber. While the Ar-234 had very little influence on the outcome of World War II, being much too late and too few in number, it had influence on later aircraft designs |

The Jumo 004 was the world's first turbojet engine in production and operational use. Some 8,000 units were manufactured by Junkers in Germany during late World War II and powered the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Arado Ar 234 aircraft. Variants of the engine were produced in Eastern Europe in the years following the war. |

First, let me clarify the title. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is a museum annex of the National Air and Space museum. The Enola Gay is one of the airplanes kept there. The Enola Gay is the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
The Udvar-Hazy Museum is near the Washington Dulles International Airport in the Chantilly area of Fairfax County, Virginia
