Why are so many people in their 20s taking so long...
Well, the other half of WWII ;) Naturally you'd pick a very experienced pilot to drop The Atomic Fucking Bomb, but the average age of bomber pilots over Europe was famously in the early 20's.

OTOH the average lifespan of a WWII bomber crew was about 6 missions.
