enola gay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aircraft' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'individual back with delay? indeed' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'delay?' becomes 'lag' (lag is a kind of delay).
'indeed' becomes 'ay' ('ay' and 'aye' can mean yes).
'one' backwards is 'eno'.
'eno'+'lag'+'ay'='ENOLA GAY'

'bringing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
