The bombers that dropped both atomic bombs flew from the island of Tinian. This was also the base for bombers that flew many of the "thousand plane" firebombing attacks every night (each of which did similar damage to the atomic bombs).

No, a fly cannot fly on a rocket because rockets provide too much acceleration and force for a small insect like a fly to withstand. The intense speed and pressure of a rocket launch would be fatal for a fly.

What is the name of the plane that bombed Nagasaki?

I don't know if the first plane can be identified. John Dolittle's raid consisted of B-25B's that took off from carriers and dropped bombs on 18 April 1942 over numerous cities in Japan, before landing in China. Only two of the planes had names, The Ruptured Duck and The Bat.

What was the disavdvantages of using the atomic bomb?

One disadvantage of the atom bomb was that it cost 2 billion dollars in the 1940s which amounts to 20 billion today. Radiation was a danger too. The people who are around the bomb and handle it and drop it from the plane are at risk around the radiation. There is also the possibility it could be set off by another bomb or some unforeseen accident. The concept of having to fly the bomb to its target was a real disadvantage. Now we have missiles that fly themselves and they don't have to be atomic anymore to do the damage needed.

Why America decides to use atomic bomb to bomb japan?

Well, (I'll try to stay neutral with this) the US was staying out of World War 2, mostly, but Japan attacked Pearl Harbor before declaring war with the US, causing the US to join the war and fight them. The war was mostly over, Germany had surrendered, but Japan hadn't. For some reason or another, I think it was because they didn't want to lose a bunch of troops trying to fly out and take Japan, the US dropped the atomic bomb. They then asked for Japan to surrender, and they told them they had another bomb, but Japan didn't, maybe they thought the US was bluffing or something, but the US dropped the second bomb and eventually Japan surrendered. Sorry it's kinda long, but that's the best way I can explain it.

What year did the boxcar drop the atomic bomb?

August 9, 1945 The B-29 which dropped "fat man" (the second of two fission bombs) on Nagasaki, Japan was named 'Bocks Car', not the often misspelled 'boxcar'. The name was a play on words by the crew; the plane's commander was Captain Fred Bock. Bock did not captain the flight which dropped 'fat man' however, that honor went to Charles Sweeney and his crew. Sweeney's crew and plane, 'the great artiste' was slated to fly the mission, but had been outfitted with observation equipment for the Hiroshima bomb run. The crews switched planes rather than reconfigure them. After the bombing, due to delays in the mission and other factors, Sweeney ran low on fuel and had to land in Okinawa (on fumes) rather than return as planned to Tinian. The first bomb, 'little boy' was dropped on Hiroshima from the 'Enola Gay' on August 6, 1945. - - wrong answer below (and 5500 kilometers would be pretty close to the center of the earth - at 6375KM. I don't think we've figured out how to drill that deep.) ______________________________________________________ The boxcar was actually a different bomb in itself. It was tested at area 51 some 5500 kilometers underground. It was actually felt 155 miles away in Las Vegas where they had to shut down the casino's due to dice rolling while the box car bomb was being tested.

Where did the nuclear explosion happen?

Nuclear explosions have occurred in various locations around the world, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II, as well as during nuclear testing in locations such as the Nevada Test Site in the United States, Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan, and the Pacific Proving Grounds. Additionally, nuclear accidents have caused explosions at places like the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants.

Was the Hiroshima bombing plane escorted or did it fly alone?

What city was the first atomic bomb used on?

The first atomic bomb (The Gadget) was not used on any city. It was detonated on the top of a 100 foot tall steel tower, at the Trinity Site in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range (now part of White Sands Missile Range) on July 16, 1945.The second atomic bomb (Little Boy) was the first to be used on a city. It was dropped by a B-29 above Hiroshima Japan on August 6, 1945.The third atomic bomb (Fatman, a deliverable version of The Gadget) was the second to be used on a city (and the first plutonium atomic bomb used on a city). It was dropped by a B-29 above Nagasaki Japan on August 9, 1945.The fourth atomic bomb (unnamed, identical to Fatman) had been manufactured by Los Alamos shortly after Fatman was used on Nagasaki and shipped to San Francisco, where a B-29 was waiting to fly it to Tinnian for use in a third attack on Japan sometime in late August. However as the Japanese indicated that they would surrender before this bomb arrived in San Francisco, president Truman issued an order that it be returned to Los Alamos instead of being loaded on the B-29 for Tinnian.All together the US had plans, facilities, and aircraft to manufacture and deliver a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japanese cities before the end of 1945:August - 3 atomic bombs (2 actually used); one MK-I uranium gun bomb (yield ~15 kilotons), two MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)September - 3 atomic bombs; three MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)October - 3 atomic bombs; three MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)November - 7 atomic bombs; seven plutonium/uranium composite implosion bombs (estimated yield 30 to 40 kilotons)December - 7 atomic bombs; seven plutonium/uranium composite implosion bombs (estimated yield 30 to 40 kilotons)

How did Truman do in world war 2?

Truman was Vice President for most of the war until Roosevelt died. After taking the Presidency he dropped two atomic bombs on Japan ending the war in the Pacific. Before he left office in 1952 he also dropped a hydrogen bomb on a island in the Pacific. The end result was the island was wiped out, there was a mushroom cloud that was 100 miles wide, and was 60,000 feet in the air. Airplanes fly 30,000 feet so you can see how enormous it was.

How were they going to bomb Pearl Harbor?

They was going to get in a plane and fly over it and release a bomb.

What happend when the jet plane invented?

The jet plane led to more and better jets that could fly greater distances. After the atom bomb was dropped by a jet on the two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II was over, although some in America had been hoping to make more jet planes. This led to making the first transport jet airplanes and then the much bigger jumbo jets and airliners. Hope this helps.
