The Bombings

There was two bombings Hiroshima (Little boy) and Nagasaki (Fat Man). The US picked their bombing sites by their Military base, if it had been bombed before, and if it was an industrial city. Nagasaki was not the first choice for the bombing of Fat man due to the heavy cloud cover they were unable to bomb Kokura.

Little Boy
