Specially modified Avro Lancasters
It was the Presidents orders.
The Enola Gay
Yes.
There were two atom bombs dropped on Japan, not one. The planes were called the Enola Gay which dropped the first bomb and the second plane was called Bockscar. The cities were Hiroshima (first bomb) and Nagasaki (second bomb).
Enola Gay
The Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb.
The plane that dropped the first Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima was a Boeing B-29 called The Enola Gay. The plane that dropped the second Atomic Bomb was aB-29 bomber called The Bockscar.
The first bomb to be dropped was "Little Boy" it was dropped by "The Enola Gay". The second bomb to be dropped was "Fat Man" this was dropped by "Bockscar". Both of these planes were B-29 Bombers.

It was the Presidents orders.

The first atomic bomb test was done on a 100 foot tall tower, not dropped from a plane (July 16, 1945).The only atomic bombs used in war were dropped from planes (August 6 & 9, 1945).The first atomic bomb test after the end of WW2 was dropped from a plane (July 1, 1946).
There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
Bockscar
Yes.
