There were actually five cities reserved by the Airforce as atomic bomb targets:
- Kyoto
- Hiroshima - primary of first mission, bombed
- Yokohama
- Kokura - primary of second mission, Nagasaki the secondary bombed instead
- Niigata - secondary of first mission
Stimson refused to approve Kyoto, due to its historic value, and Nagasaki was substituted.
Actual selection of primary and secondary targets for each mission was based on weather reports for the cities made by reconnaissance flights prior to the mission.
Had more than 5 bombs been needed, the target list was more or less wide open.
