What plane drooped the atomic bomb in world war 2?

The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, by the United States B-29 Superfortress bomber named Enola Gay. Piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, the aircraft released the bomb known as "Little Boy," which was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare. A second bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped on Nagasaki three days later by another B-29, named Bockscar, piloted by Major Charles Sweeney. These bombings played a significant role in leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
