The real Little Boy of Atomic Bomb just before Hiroshima City

   "Little Boy" of Uranium type atomic bomb was installed in the pit just before loading in the B-29 bomber "Enola Gay" which drove the Hiroshima atomic bomb. It was used for the first time in nuclear warfare on human history. Little Boy was manufactured with uranium 235 with a total length of 3.12 m, a maximum diameter of 0.75 m, a total weight of about 5000 Kg. Little boy was handled confidentially because it was first exploded in actual war without preliminary nuclear test. The body of Little Boy was lifted from this pit with a hydraulic jack and mounted into the bomb storage of Enola Gay aircraft.
