On August 6, 1945, captain Morris Jeppson , and Wyatt Duzenbury, Joseph Stiborik, as well as two other crews carried the uranium bomb, Little Boy, on a bomber from Tinian Island to Japan sky.
“The bomb we are carried today is the most destructive weapon in human history. All other missions would look like small potatoes compared to this mission.”
“Captain, can you tell us what is about this bomb?”
“No, but would not limit your imagination.”
“Is this the chemist’s nightmare ?”
“Not quite.”
“How about the physicist’s nightmare?”
“That is close.”
“I saw Hiroshima”
“Eye goggles on. Here we go”
The uranium bomb was dropped on Hiroshima around 8:30 AM on August 6, 1945. The code name of this bomb is "Little Boy".
Apology to the readers: I lost the Japanese text for this part of the story. I used to be able to translate the English text into the Japanese text; but not anymore now. After many years of non-use, I got rusted in my Japanese ability.
