US History [1]
The United Sates wanted to bomb Japan because they thought it could end World War 2. There had been four cities to choose from, Hiroshima, Kokura, Nagasaki, and Niigata. The cities were chosen because they have been untouched during the war. The target committee wanted the first bomb to be spectacular and when it was used everyone would recognize the importance of this weapon. ENOLA GAY At 2:45 on the morning of August 6 1945 the aircraft, Enola Gay, took off from Tinian, a north pacific island 1500 miles south of Japan. There was a twelve man crew on board to make sure the secret mission went smoothly.
