accomplish with the Manhattan Project. Truman decided to form the Interim Committee, which made recommendations regarding the bomb’s use in war. On August 6, a b-29 aircraft called the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb nicknamed “little boy” 2,000 feet above Hiroshima. This city had been chosen as a target because it was a center Japanese

In the summer of 1945, the war in the With Its commission to the fleet, Enola Gay preformed a test mission in preparation for its mission the next morning. The mission would be called “Operation Centerboard 1”, this type of bombing mission had never been preformed, the bomb had never existed or had a full functional test, and the hopes of ending the war hung in the balance of this mission (Museum, 2011). The Enola Gay and its weather plane escort took off from North Field airbase, Tinian Island at 0245Z 06 August 1945, Operation Centerboard 1 was on a course for history (Museum, 2011). The Enola Gay climbed to 30,000 feet in preparation for the bombing raid. The bomb was dropped at 0915Z over Hiroshima, Japan. The bomb hit the intended target 43 seconds later (Museum, 2011). The airplane preformed the escape maneuvers and started the return to base. The detonation mushroom cloud climbed to 40,000 feet and was visible by the crew for 360 miles away from the impact sight(Museum, 2011). The crew safely landed at Tinian island 1438Z performing the mission exactly as planned (Museum, 2011).

Born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1935, Joy Kogawa is a Nisei – second generation Japanese Canadian – and a celebrated poet. During World War 2, many Japanese Canadians, including Kogawa, were evacuated and forced into the internment camps. “Hiroshima Exit”, one of Kogawa's poem’, accentuates the devastation of the atomic bombing during the war. A Japanese Descendent visits the Atomic Bomb Memorial Building where she witnesses the horror and destruction from the Hiroshima bombing. It is clear that the war inflicted great destruction, and much damage was attributed to past actions. Kogawa uses personification, conflicts, and symbolism to show that instead of clinging onto the harsh past, one needs to have hope in order to create better prospect in the future.

Intense moral justification was needed in order to make the decision to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki however, President Truman was ultimately the man who made the final decision to launch ‘Little Boy’ and destroy Hiroshima, Nagasaki and their civilians, thus forcing an end to the war. Although there were many alternatives presented to President Truman, it is unknown as to whether they would have actually succeeded in ending the war or producing less casualties. Truman made the decision to drop these bombs in the heat of war but his justification of having a military target appeared extremely unrealistic, as both cities were full of innocent civilians. The morality of the bombs have been debated over the years, however the publication of the actual damage to civilian life caused a strong voice opposed to the usage in the 60 years following the action.

Many have heard of the Tuskegee Airmen and their accomplishments. They were a group of African American fighter pilots. They proved to be quite vital to the success of World War II. What many people may not know is the Tuskegee Airmen had several squadrons which fought throughout Europe during the war. The most famous squadron was the 332nd fighter squadron, they were commonly known as the Red Tails. Charles McGee was among those men apart of the Red Tail squadron. Charles McGee is one of most notable men in the Red Tails due to his accomplishments throughout the war. I will be explaining his life and all of his accomplishments throughout this paper on famous individuals in aviation.

When they were about to drop the bombs, American bombers dropped flyers saying that they were going to do this but that the civilians were not targets. The Japanese didn't listen to this, and maybe just a few left but that is kind of their fault. America came out and said that they would not drop them in the new or old capital in fear off killing to many. Document B. It stilled killed many people but imagine the destruction and deaths if it was dropped on the capital. Technically, every last Japanese civilian was a threat to America, because they said every last Japanese civilian will pit themselves against America. Document J. So by killing civilians (who were not the targets) they were killing soldiers as well. America needed to end the war efficiently. And by going in an all out invasion would have killed those people as well. It was the most efficient way to end the war.t the main targets even though many of them

Dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified under the information they had at the time. When criticizing the actions of the Truman administration one needs to consider the effect of knowledge in hindsight. Truman was working under the knowledge that dropping the nuclear bombs would bring a short and fast victory to the Pacific front of the Second World War. As the war had already ended in Europe by this time, leaders were looking to end the campaign in the Pacific as quickly as possible. From a cost benefit perspective dropping the bombs on Japan meant that very few American lives were lost, and the cost of building the bombs compared to the cost of a minimum six month continuation of fighting.Additionally, there was no testing

The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki This was the time when the United States and the Japanese had an extreme rivalry between each other. After the Japanese attacked a US territory, killing 2,403 people, the US promptly declared war on Japan, entering themselves into a second world war after being significantly provoked. Germany and Italy declared war on the US after the US declared war on Japan. Later on, after defeating Germany, the USSR agreed to help the US defeat Japan ninety days after the Nazi surrender, so the US had a six month period before the USSR could come and help them defeat Japan. The US did not want to give up any territory to the USSR like they did with Europe, so the US had to attempt to end the war themselves prior to the ninety days. To end the war between the US and Japan prior to the agreed date by the USSR, J. Robert Oppenheimer invented something that would later murder 105,000 people and injure 94,000 more.

Being the real first heavy bomber, the B-29 would start production six years after the B-17 won the USAAC competition. The head of Boeing Aircraft Co. on January 29, 1940, received a letter titled "U.S. Army, Airplane, Bombardment, Specification For". (The Boeing B-29) This would start production of the B-29. After thousands of hours of work, the plane took it maiden flight on September 21, 1942. The plane could carry a whopping 70 tons of cargo, the same amount of weight the Enola Gay carried on its way to Japan. It could fly at 400 miles per hour, almost 200 more miles per hour than its predecessor. The plane could also fly 4 thousand miles. (The Boeing B-29) The most famous B-29, the Enola Gay, dropped the bombs on Japan and forced them to raise the white flag and win the war against the Japanese. The plane was flown by Paul Tibblets and Robert Lewis. These planes helped win the war against the Axis powers and capture Berlin.

The history of these atomic bombs is quite fascinating but devastating. For example, “little boy” was a manhattan project that worked on uranium extraction.
