On August 6th 1945, the US Army Air Force B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, physically dropped a nuclear fission device dubbed "Little Boy" on the Nipponjin (Japanese) city of Hiroshima. The weapon had been delievered to Tinian Island and the US Air Base a week prior to the bombing. After retrofitting the Enola Gay to accept the weapon's unusual dimensions, it took off on its flight plan with its escort bombers/camera planes.
