What was the real name of the B-29 that dropped the nuclear bomb?
Enola Gay was the firt one, Bock's Car was he second one. There was some confusion over the names of the aircraft as one was renamed and one was mis-identified in the news. The Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped "Little Boy", on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. This aircraft was assigned to aircraft commander Captain Robert Lewis. However, Col. Paul Tibbets, Jr. was selected to fly the first mission. On 5 Aug 45, the atomic bomb was loaded in front bomb bay and Col. Tibbets had the name "Enola Gay" painted on nose in honor of his mother. http://www.enolagay.org/ "Bockscar" is the name of the US B-29 bomber that dropped the "Fat Man" bomb over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, the second atomic weapon used against Japan. The name "Bockscar" was the name of its aircraft commander, Captain Frederick C. Bock. For the mission, the pilot Major Charles W. Sweeney, commander of the 509th Composite Group's 393rd Bomber Squadron. He normally commanded the B-29 named "The Great Artiste". "Bockscar" was selected because it did not have the blast-measuring equipment installed in it but "The Great Artiste" did so it accompanied "Bockscar" on the mission. "Bockscar" had a problem with fuel and could not transfer fuel out of the 600-lb reserve tank. So, the aircraft were forced to land at Okinawa. The first news reports stated that the aircraft that dropped the 2nd atomic bomb was "The Great Artiste". Some sources say the aircraft did not have names painted on their nose at this time. "Bockscar" was placed on display at Davis-Monthan as the aircraft that bombed Nagasaki, but in the markings of "The Great Artiste". "Bockscar" was restored to correct markings is now on permanent display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Dayton, Ohio.

The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
