Best Answer

The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. The bomber that dropped it was nicknamed the "Enola Gay", named after the pilot's mother. Three days later, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, and the bomber in that case was "Bockscar" ("boxcar"), a pun based on the pilot's name, Bock.
