Hiroshima Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Fat Man Bockscar-A Guided Tour

** Our sympathy to the people of Japan in the terrible March 2011 tragedy.

A guided tour showing the B-29 airplane. The Bockscar, used in Nagasaki, and the Enola Gay, used in Hiroshima were B-29s. Also shows the bombs Little Boy and Fat Man. The B-29 was used in a variety of historic, tragic, unusual, and memorable missions.

Video shows the B-29 bomber. This plane carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller-driven strategic bomber used by the US in WWII. The B-29 is one of the largest planes used during WWII; it was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, but also used as a low-altitude nighttime incendiary bomber.

The actual Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Bockscar, that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki is on display at the Air Force Museum at WPAFB. This Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Bockscar, dropped the second atomic bomb (plutonium bomb), called Fatboy, on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

This B-29 returned to the United States in November 1945, where it was assigned to the 509th at Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico. In August 1946, it was assigned to the 4105th Base Unit at Davis-Monthan Army Air Field in Arizona. In September 1946, its title was passed to the Air Force Museum (currently the National Museum of the United States Air Force) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, and it was moved there until September 26, 1961.

Many reports about Roswell say that a B-29 was used to carry crates from Roswell to Fort Worth, TX. At least one of the crates was reported to be approximately twelve feet long, five feet wide, and four feet high. Four armed MPs accompanied this crate. It would have fit into this plane.


The airplane from the Roswell airbase, a B-29, was reported to have carried the Roswell debris to Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Ohio. The B-29 is also the plane that carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Bockscar, is the B-29 that carried the Nagasaki bomb. The B-29 that carried the atomic bombs returned to the United States in November 1945, where it was assigned to the 509th at Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico. In August 1946, it was assigned to the 4105th Base Unit at Davis-Monthan Army Air Field in Arizona. In September 1946, its title was passed to the Air Force Museum (currently the National Museum of the United States Air Force) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, and it was moved there until September 26, 1961.

Roswell Crates - Many reports about Roswell say that a B-29 was used to carry crates from Roswell to Fort Worth, TX and then to Ohio. This original radio broadcast and the original equipment are on display at the museum.

Reportedly, the plane flew at a very low altitude, which suggests that the crate carried something other than inanimate debris. However, it might have flown at this altitude because of having the MPs on board in the unpressurized area where the crates were stowed. The reports say that each crate had to be checked for size and the crew had to know which crate went on which plane. Several crates were also reportedly loaded onto C-54s. Obviously, such crates should easily fit into this plane.

The B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller strategic bomber used by the US in WWII. The B-29 is one of the largest planes used during WWII; it was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, but also used as a low-altitude nighttime incendiary bomber.

It carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The B-29 that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki is on display at the Air Force Museum at WPAFB. This Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Bockscar, dropped the second atomic bomb (plutonium bomb), called Fatboy, on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

Views of the Bockscar, which carried the bomb from Roswell to Nagasaki, and other views of many air and space craft can be found in the WPAFB. Videos of these planes can be viewed at:

This versatile plane is also the type that reportedly carried the Roswell debris. If a UFO had been found near Roswell, the debris, the B-29 that carried the debris, and all other artifacts would make a momentous display.

It would be especially momentous if the same B-29 had been used for both missions.

@dutchgoing

I talked with a US soldier who was in a medical unit on Tinian. They came to the island after the battle. I asked him about the feeling about the expected invasion of Japan. He said "I was in a medical unit in the rear, and we lost 1/3 of our people--and that was on a SECURED island. So we knew the chance of getting killed in Japan would be very good."

Their hospital tents were in a big rectangular hole, dug 3-meters deep. --Hit directly by a kamikaze.

Hello people have you ever heard of the Bataan death march? Japan did horrible torturous things to our soldiers for example they would make them dig their own graves then throw them in it and make them drink kerosine and they would burn them alive! Japan did many horrible things in WWII that was just an example of one of the things they did to us that was just ridiculous and they would rather commit suicide than surrender and we didn't want to play with their bullshit and pride any more so we k

[Lavalambtron]

This is an extremely historic airplane.

[Xxcory11xx]

We just 1-upped japan.. "You attack our military base? We obliterate your cities." I don't think any of it is right.. But people keep saying what terrorists we are.. Did they expect us not to react to their action?

@srdjankovic Hiroshima was the headquarters of the Japanese 2nd General Army under Field Marshal Hata. 43,000 j troops were in the city & almost 20,000 died in the bombing.

[paultvshow]

@MyFarhan007 What about crashing the plane into the building killing thousands of innocent people? Is that called religion?

[mybluebelly]

I think the iranians are in the market for some of them B-29`s nowadays.

[FLATRON20100]

Next nuke will be in WW3 to USA

[MyFarhan007]

America is the biggest terrorist state ever born on the surface of the earth....we cannt think of the end of terrorism until the demise of America.......the killing of hundred and thousand ppl in a single instance by atom bomb is an open indication of terrorism

[theTicklemehellmo]

Japan attacks Pearl harbor, America Bombs 260,000 civilians. How can you even think of comparing those two? The atomic bombs were nothing more than a demonstration of power.
