The Enola Gay and Bockscar bombers entered the annals of world history on 6 and 9 August 1945, respectively, when they dropped the first and (to this point) only atomic bombs ever used in wartime on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings are believed to have killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most civilians.
