The phrase "three-point-landing" comes from the old days of tail-dragger aircraft. In many tail-draggers a perfect landing in windless conditions will result in all three wheels touching down simultaneously.
However, most modern aircraft use a "tricycle" style landing gear layout. Instead of the third wheel being on the end of the tail, the aircraft has a third wheel on the nose. This makes the aircraft much easier to steer on the ground.
In tricycle-gear aircraft, the pilot lands on the mains first and then brings down the nosewheel as the the airplane deccelerates. In cross-wind landings, the pilot will aim to touch down the up-wind wheel first. This is done in order to mitigate the danger of gusts picking up the upwind wing which could result in all sorts of ugliness.

What member of the Enola Gay crew dropped the atom bomb?
Major Thomas Ferebee the Bombardier.He was responsible for operation of the Norden bombsight. After setting the bombsight up and locating the Aim Point in its crosshairs he requested Colonel Paul Tibbets the Commander and Pilot to transfer control of the plane to the bombsight. Once he verified that the Norden bombsight was properly controlling the plane Ferebee flipped the Autorelease switch on the bombsight to allow the bombsight to do the drop automatically without further attention. After that he had nothing more to do until a second or so after the bomb dropped, when he flipped a switch on the bombsight returning control of the plane back to Tibbets.
