The B-29. In WW2 there were only 2 planes available with the capacity to carry a bomb the size and weight of the atomic bombs: the american B-29 and the british Lancaster. But since the bomb was american, the plane had to be american. The Lancaster might have been a better choice as it had a longer bomb-bay, permitting a more stable tail fin design, but the B-29 was american.
