Bockscar was flown by Major Charles Sweeney.Over the years, there has been some confusion concerning the name of the bomber that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Some have claimed the plane was named Bock's Car or Bocks Car. The name that appears on the front of the plane is Bockscar. The plane was originally assigned to Captain Frederick C. Bock.
