		Nicknamed "pumpkin" bombs because of their shape and orange color, these were the same size and shape as the actual atomic bomb dropped at Nagasaki.
		After Japan surrendered, "Bockscar" and the 393rd Bomb Squadron were reassigned to Roswell Field, N. The discrepancy in the official reports was discovered when preparations were being made to preserve "The Great Artiste" for later museum display.
		When the discrepancy was found, it was "Bockscar" that was retired in September 1946 to the desert storage facility at Davis-Monthan Field, Ariz. It remained in storage until September 1961 when it made one more flight to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, to become part of display aircraft at the U.S. Air Force Museum.

	RELECTIONS FROM ABOVE
		At 11:02 local time, the plane dropped a 10,000 pound plutonium bomb known as the "Fat Man" over the city, killing more than 70,000 people in what, at this point in time, is the last instance of man using atomic weapons against his fellow human beings.
		In spite of the fact that Bockscar was low on fuel, Sweeney decided to take a second pass over Nagasaki, hoping for better visibility; the results of the second fly over were as disappointing as the first.
		During the course of conversation after his talk, a local veteran proclaimed that he still did not consider the Japanese to be human beings; they were in his mind just insects.

		On Aug. 9, the B-29 called "Bockscar", and captained by Maj. Charles Sweeney dropped the second, on Nagasaki.
		Tibbets, leader of the special command, said, "You will be delivering a bomb that can destroy an entire city." But it was nearly time to drop the bomb when the men were told it was something new called atomic.
		Olivi's plane originally was to be flown by Frederick C. Bock and later was named Bockscar in his honor by the crew.

	Japanese American Internment, Nagasaki, Chapter 11
		As Bockscar approached the cloud-covered city of Nagasaki the morning of August 9, 1945, she was running low on fuel.
		Her crew had originally planned to drop the B-29's payload - a Plutonium 239 bomb dubbed "Fat Man" - on the Japanese city of Kokura.
		Using radar, Bockscar's bombardier released "Fat Man" about 1.6 miles from the intended "aiming point." Instead of exploding over the center of Nagasaki, the bomb exploded 1,540 feet above the Urakami River Valley.

		Major Sweeney had orders to drop the atomic bomb visually, and after conferring with weaponeer Commander Frederick Ashworth (USN), flew on to Nagasaki, the secondary target.
		The Great Artiste was originally scheduled to drop the second bomb but it was fitted with observation instruments and there was not enough time to move the instrumentation from The Great Artiste to Bockscar.
		In 2005, a short documentary was made about Charles Sweeney's recollections of the Nagasaki mission aboard Bockscar, including details of the mission preparation, titled "Nagasaki: The Commander's Voice."

		A faulty fuel pump and rain squalls near Tinian nearly canceled the flight of Bockscar, the B-29 scheduled to drop Fat Man. But after heated discussions and a change in flight plan, Bockscar and its deadly, delicate cargo lifted off into a horizon pierced by lightning.
		After a tense, fuel-burning forty-five minutes, Bockscar flew on alone to its primary target, Kokura.
		And still Nagasaki nearly evaded Genshi Bakudan, for the cloud-kami were rising around the city even as Sweeney and his crew circled vainly over Kokura.
