The Dropping of the Bomb 

Truman is said to have been set up by Leahy, Byrnes, and Groves, who told Truman about the effects of the a-bomb so he wouldn’t meet the scientists that created it and develop doubts about using it. Most of those scientists, including Einstein, wanted to inform Truman of the destruction of the a-bomb to help prevent the dropping of the bombs. After evaluating the information, he decided to carry out the plans to use the bombs.

The bombs were sent on a B-29 called the Enola Gay, named after the pilot and commander’s mother. The B-29 was sent off North Field air base, on Tinian in the West Pacific. The main pilot of the plane Enola Gay, Paul Tibbets, died Thursday, October 25, 2007, from a variety of health problems, where he has been in decline for two months.
