All of the B-29s involved in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and “pumpkin bomb” training and combat missions at Wendover, UT and on Tinian were Project Silverplate B-29s. They had been specially modified to accomodate the size and weight of the atomic bombs. Crews were often rotated around during the missions. The term “pumpkin bomb” can apply to both the dummy concrete bombs used at Wendover for training, and to the high-explosive bombs dropped over Japan.
There are many incorrect lists online of the planes and crews that flew on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing missions. This list has been thoroughly checked for accuracy by several 509th Composite Group experts and historians.
