High altitude bombing in WWII was extremely inaccurate. An airming point was selected based on previous photo reconnisance and that meant that the bombradier had to find something on the ground that stood out and that could be identified through the bomb site. At Hiroshima, the T-shaped bridge over the Aioi River was selected as the aiming point. Detonation was 550 feet off the mark and with an atomic bomb, that was close enough to destroy the target.
