A second atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, by Colonel Paul Tibbets, who piloted the B-29 bomber, Enola Gay. There were other planes involved in the mission over Nagasaki, but it was the B-29 bomber, Bockscar, that dropped the atomic bomb, "Fat Man," on Nagasaki. Bockscar was flown by Major Charles Sweeney.Over the years, there has been some confusion concerning the name of the bomber that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Some have claimed the plane was named Bock's Car or Bocks Car. The name that appears on the front of the plane is Bockscar. The plane was originally assigned to Captain Frederick C. Bock. However, due a mix-up regarding how each of the mission's planes were equipped, Bockscar was flown by Sweeney instead of Bock.See Sources and relate links for more information and a photo of Bockscar.
