Little Boy ready to be loaded into the Enola Gay

August 6th and August 9th will be the 70th anniversaries of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In advance of the anniversaries, we are featuring photographs that show the Little Boy and Fat Man bombs being prepared, along with the planes, for the missions. The photos can be viewed on our website and on Facebook (Little Boy and Fat Man albums).

For more about the bombings, and for more photographs, please see these articles on our website:

We also have added over a thousand profiles of members of the 509th Composite Group. To learn about the scientists and airmen who participated in and supported the missions, visit our Manhattan Project Veterans Database.
