The first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th of august 1945 the second was on Nagasaki on the 9th of august 1945 .a bit of pointless knowledge but will get you extra marks in an exam is that the first bomb dropped which was dropped on Hiroshima was called "little boy" and the second which was dropped on Nagasaki was called "fatman".The plane which dropped both bombs was the "Boeing B-29 Superfortress"operated by the 509 which is an American air-force unit. hope this helps

The United States.The US Army-Air Force dropped atomic weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The Hiroshima bomb was dropped by a plane called the Enola Gay, piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets, on 6 August 1945.The Nagasaki bombing occurred on 9 August 1945. Again, the bomb was delivered by the Enola Gay, this time piloted by Maj.

On August 6th 1945, the US Army Air Force B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, physically dropped a nuclear fission device dubbed "Little Boy" on the Nipponjin (Japanese) city of Hiroshima.
