ok either im blind or i cant find any 
any pics of this plane? ive seen so poor pics of it but not many good quality ones :?
Thats the only full shot of the plane I could find.[/img]
thank you 
No problem man
that big air tank launched the atomic bomb,demonstrating the military superiority of usa,another time.

wow
thnx a lot 
You must be blind lol :lol: they found a truck full of those pics lol
The majority of the crew werent told what they were going to do until the mission briefing.
Imagine seeing what youd just done?
I suppose it was a diffrent age, but still a terrible responsibility.
That was absolutely right. They were trained to put together a bomb but they didnât know what it was. They took off, was briefed of their mission while in the air, and then put the atomic bomb together in-flight.
Moment! At least two people on board knew what they were doing. The bomb only had the nuclear core installed on board shortly before it was dropped due to safety reasons. This was done by two scientists from the Manhattan project.
BTW, in one picture above you can see the plane being backed up over a pit in the ground. The pit contains the nuclear bomb.

Only the Pilot was fully briefed. The bomb aimer was briefed how and where to drop, but had no idea what would happen.
Enola Gay was the name of the pilots mum.
The pilot was thoroughly sickened by what he had done.
Any pics of Bocks Car? The plane that dropped Fat Man?
Pilot was Tibbets and even today, he regrets nothing, seen him on tv this morning, we had a mission etc etc. The Co-pilot howver wrote in his diary of the events - My God What Have We Done.
I always had that down as the pilot.
The bomb was actually arrmed (had the U235 projectile and the cordite charge inserted) during flight by a Captain William Parsons of the US Navy (later became a Rear Admiral).
This man was involved directly with the Manhattan project, he actually designed the proximity fuze system of the bomb.
âOn a hook in the ceiling of the plane, hung the ten-foot atomic bomb, âLittle Boy.â Navy Captain William S. Parsons (âDeakâ), chief of the Ordnance Division in the âManhattan Project,â was the Enola Gayâs weaponeer. Since Parsons had been instrumental in the development of the bomb, he was now responsible for arming the bomb while in-flight. Approximately fifteen minutes into the flight (3:00 a.m.), Parsons began to arm the atomic bomb; it took him fifteen minutes. Parsons thought while arming âLittle Boyâ: âI knew the Japs were in for it, but I felt no particular emotion about it.ââ
From:

Parsons was in charge of the ordnance department of the Manhattan project and an associate director of the project just under Oppenheimer, so he knew what the bomb was about (he probably witnessed the Trinity test)

The reason why the bomb was armed in flight is that a gun type nuclear fission device is inherently dangerous to handle. Any ignition of the propellant charge will cause a full yield reaction of the whole fissible material. This is also the reason why most nuclear power countries (with the exception of South Africa) decided against the gun type bomb, even though the technology is simpler (the Americans only built about 10 of the Little Boy type bombs and had them phased out by the late 40s).
Even though a implosion type nuke is much safer to handle (to cause a nuclaer reaction, the core has to be compressed extremely evenly using the explosive lenses and simultanious detonation of all fuzes at exactly the same time, any irregular explosion will just cause the fissible material to be dispersed), the Fat Man bombs (and all early nukes) were handled with the Pu pith seperate from the bomb. It was only inserted shortly before use, in 1945 during flight, later, in the 1950s before loading the bombs on the planes or assembling the missiles.
There are some rather unbelievable stories around about parsons, that he knowingly tested a Little Boy bomb in Port Chicago near San Francisco in 1944.

AFAIK, the Manhattan project had only enough U235 (which was gained in a very complicated process in Oak ridge, Tennesee) for one bomb in summer 1945.

That isnât the only glaring flaw with that site either. The most obvious one to spring to mind is that the Manhattan Project did run tests with U-235 to ensure that the gun-type bomb would work (IIRC it was called something like âtickling the dragonâs tailâ and at least one physicist died in the process), they just didnât need a full yield detonation to ensure they would work. Another is that the damage pattern described is completely inconsistent with a nuclear initiation.
