Did the second B-29 which dropped an atomic bomb have a name?

Question

The first one is called Enola Gay, how about the second B-29 which dropped the bomb on Nagasaki?

Answer 1

"Bockscar"


Bockscar, sometimes called Bock's Car or Bocks Car, is the name of the U.S. Army Air Force B-29 bomber that dropped the "Fat Man" nuclear weapon over Nagasaki, on August 9, 1945, the second atomic weapon used against Japan.

Bockscar was flown on that day by the crew of another B-29, The Great Artiste, and was commanded by Major Charles W. Sweeney, commander of the 393rd Bomber Squadron of the 509th Composite Group. The Great Artiste had been outfitted for scientific measurement for the Hiroshima mission and so the flight crews were simply switched to each others' plane; thus making The Great Artiste the only support plane to accompany both atomic bombs to Japan.
