Ultimately terrible analogy recollected deadly cargo’s bearer (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

enola gay

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

'deadly cargo's bearer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'ultimately terrible analogy recollected' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'recollected' indicates an anagram (letters recollected and rearranged).
The last letter of 'terrible' is 'e'.
'analogy' anagrammed gives 'nolagay'.
'e'+'nolagay'='ENOLA GAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enola gay that I've seen before include "Bomber" , "B-twenty nine that dropped the Hiroshima bomb" , "B-twenty-nine that dropped Hiroshima bomb" , "Aircraft dropping Hiroshima bomb" , "Hiroshima B-29" .)
