"Little Boy", the weapon delivered against Hiroshima by the B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay", as well as "Fat Man" deliveredy by "Bock's Car" were deployed from North Field, a former WWII airfield on Tinian, an island that is a part of the Mariana Island chain in the northwest Pacific Ocean. The B-29's combat range was only 3250 miles, so the weapons could not be delivered from the USA directly.
Both bombers were members of the 393d Bombardment Squadron, Heavy, 509th Composite Group, which was, at the time, based out of Wendover Army Airfield in Utah -- far too distant from Japan for a direct delivery.
