Little Boy was the codename of the atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945 by the 12-man crew of the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets of the United States Army Air Forces. It was the first atomic bomb ever used as a weapon and was dropped three days before the "Fat Man" bomb was used against Nagasaki.

  • Hiroshima wasn't that big or impressive.

    You have to remember, the Germans had V2s with nearly 1 billion joules of delivered energy, the japanese had Baka bombs with 1/4 that, and used Gas delivery bombs with about 1/2 the 1.2 Billion joules delivered by LittleBoy. It was the scientific principle that impressed the enemy and ended the war.

  • Its lil....ok!

    Truman dropped the bomb because secretary of state Byrnes wanted to use the bomb to end the war before Moscow could get in on the kill!?!?> Byrnes didnt argue that is was necessary to use the bomb against the cities of the Japan in order to win the war.... Byrnes's...view was that our possessing and demonstrating the bomb would make Russia more manageable,,,Truman wanted to end the war before the Russians could enter the war against Japan in Asia…. because Truman didnt want Russia to play a major role in determining the post-war peace in Asia..
