How can I build my own Enola Gay???
Get yourself a Boeing 377. Cut off the upper fuselage and rebuild a
smaller fuselage with a greenhouse up front. Then cut some bomb-bay
doors in the forward cargo hold.

On second thought maybe not:

The flight deck of the Stratocruiser was serenely quit even if on a
good day, just outside the windows, all 112 cylinders were in a
reciprocating mood. But that commodious cell had its own peculiar
disadvantages. In tropical climes the large areas of glass made it too
hot and in colder regions prudent pilots carried raincoats and hats
since they could be reasonably certain that soon after descent for
landing was begun they would be sitting in the middle of a shower not
indicated on their weather charts. The cause was soon discovered, but
since the solution demanded the passengers stop breathing the problem
was never entirely eliminated. Vaporous moisture expelled by the
passengers during their ordinary life process rose and condensed as
ice along the stringers at the top of the fuselage. Once the
Stratocruiser assumed a descent altitude and passed thorough the
freezing level, the ice melted, flowed forward in rivulets, and
eventually emerged as a light rain condition directly over the pilots'
heads.

then again, a 377 would be fitting for this nutcase
