Best Answer

The B-29 Superfortress had the range, speed, and capacity to deliver the bomb. Imagine, a B-17 or B-24 dropping it. Both bombers are slow and vulnerable, while the B-29 had a top speed over 330 mph. Another reason that the B-29 delivered it was because the B-29 had a pressurized cabin, raising the altitude.
