Jaz4stfguy 0 Posted July 18, 2004 I know that the first two were the A bombs, But I don't rcall which one was used on Hiroshima. Obviously, "Enola Gay" delivered one of them. I had forgotten about the other B-29. Really neat poll, VGB. I had just watched "The Last Mission" on TV, the bombing raid on a third city, Akira(?) just after the second A-bomb.

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 19, 2004 I wrote in a magazin that the americans were also planning to put an A bomb on the german city Dresden, but they never did becouse germany capitulated sooner than they thought I believe I've read that also, the main concern at the time of the Manhattan Project was Germany but later became Japan I believe.

Ace 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I thought I heard on the radio this morning that the guy who flew the second plane just passed away. I only heard a few seconds, though, so I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayTroi 0 Posted July 27, 2004 Yes and no. I remember that it had something to do with atomic bombs though. After I read through the posts only then did I have an inkling of what you were talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
