The United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan on August 6th and 9th, respectively. Both planes took off from Tianning Island in Mariana Islands.

The specific route and process of dropping atomic bombs by the United States are as follows:

I. Hiroshima

1945 in the early morning of August 6th 1: 37, three weather planes took the lead in setting off and headed straight for Japan. At 2: 45 in the morning, the Ainola left Tianning Island.

At 5: 05 in the morning, three planes flew over Iwo Jima to Japan.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning, Jacob Bethel, an electronic expert on Ainola Gay, saw Japanese radar scanning.

At 7: 09, when the weather plane arrived over Hiroshima, the air raid alarm began to sound.

At 8: 00, 15, 17 seconds, "Ainola guy" dropped a bomb.

At 2: 58 pm, Ainola people returned to Tianning Island.

Second, Nagasaki.

1945 At 3: 49 a.m. on August 9, two B-29 bombers and two reconnaissance planes took off from Tianning Air Force Base in the United States and flew to Kokura, Japan, the scheduled bombing target.

When the plane arrived over Kokura, due to the weather, it finally gave up bombing Kokura and flew to Nagasaki, the second target.

After the Nagasaki bombing, the plane returned to Tianning Island.
