The Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, just before the end of World War II. The Enola Gay became famous for its part in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In the past part of it was displayed in the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., but that special exhibit closed on May 18, 1998. In 2003, the Enola Gay became again viewable to the public at the new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center annex of the N.A.S.M. at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.The Enola Gay.The name of the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan is Enola Gay.
No One.Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. The atomic bomb was invented in 1945. By this time there was no threat to Pearl Harbor.
The bomb was dropped at 8:15 in that morning of august 6 1945. Enola gay, the plane which carried it, lifted up from Tinian airfield located in the Marian Islands. As a matter of fact, the same airfield was used for the Nagasaki bomb. What time did the plane leave the airfield? A calculated hour and a half is a good estimate. This is what any person could tell you about the time since lift up time is not included in the records. Maybe some one with knowledge a bit more than public records will update the answer.
The planes were B29's, also known as "Super-fortress" since they were larger than the workhorse bomber of WW2, the "Flying Fortress" or B17. The names of the two that dropped the bombs were "Enola Gay" and "BoxCar".

the committee of scientists and Army Air Force officers listed Kokura Arsenal, Hiroshima, Niigata, and Kyoto as the four best targets. After the sudies the enola Gay, dropped the first bomb at 2.45 local time over the city of Hiroshima. I posted in the related links box below a link with the damages of the atomic bomb as side reading.
No. By the time the US dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, Germany had already surrendered. While Germany did have a nuclear weapons program during the war, it did not actually get to the point that they were capable of building a working bomb.
Wherever the bomb is dropped a lot of people will be killed during the explosion and more from radiation for a long time after. Immediately after the bomb is dropped we will do what we have always done as Americans and go kick some a**.
The only time atomic bombs were dropped in combat was in 1945.The last time either the US or USSR dropped an atomic bomb for test purposes was in 1963.When my brother was in the army in Germany doing maneuvers with nuclear antitank landmines, he dropped an atomic bomb on his hand squashing one finger like a stepped on hotdog. (of course this is a different sense of meaning of the word dropped) This was in the late 1970s.Other countries may have dropped atomic bombs for test purposes more recently.
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. Charles Sweeney.These two bombings represent the only use of nuclear weapons during war, and brought about the surrender of the Japanese Empire, thereby ending World War II.
No One.Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. The atomic bomb was invented in 1945. By this time there was no threat to Pearl Harbor.
I don't know! Why are you asking this f**king question?
