On the morning of August 9, 1945, the U.S. B-29 Superfortress Bockscar, flown by the crew of 393rd
Squadron commander Major Charles W. Sweeney,
carried the nuclear bomb code-named "Fat Man", with Kokura as the primary target and Nagasaki the secondary target.
Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr. (born February 23, 1915) was a brigadier general in the United States Air Force and the pilot of the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb.

The name of the plane was Enola Gay - a B29 bomber.
No, it didn't drop the bomb on Nagasaki... it flew as support.
"The Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress bomber piloted by Lt. Col. Paul Warfield Tibbets, Jr., was the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. A few days later, the Enola Gay flew reconnaissance as a support plane for the bombing of Nagasaki. For many years, the Enola Gay was displayed at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C."
