The B-29 was Bock's Car, a play on words from the name of its usual pilot, Captain Frederick C. Bock. However, for the August 9 atomic mission to Nagasaki Bock and his crew were replaced by the crew of The Great Artiste, under pilot Major Charles W. Sweeney. Sweeney was commander of the 393rd Bomb Squadron, which was the only squadron in the 509th Composite Group. Sweeney had expected to fly the Hiroshima mission, because he had flown many of the training flights while Colonel Paul Tibbets was busy with his overall command duties. When the Hiroshima mission came though, Tibbets flew it himself, in the B-29 he had named for his mother, Enola Gay. So, Sweeney was allowed the second mission.
