At 2:45 a.m.,
three American B-29s took off...
:27:06
from an air base on Tinian
in the Marianas.
:27:08
Two of them
were observation planes.
:27:10
The third was the Enola Gay...
:27:11
named after
the captain's mother.
:27:16
Mother, leave the washing to me.
You're still not well.
:27:20
It's OK. If I rest too long,
I'm liable to get lazy.
:27:25
Father, isn't this the greatest
boat you ever saw?
:27:27
- Gen made it for me!
- Did he really?
:27:29
The minute
he's home from school...
:27:32
we're going to take it
to the river.
:27:34
Are you? Won't that be fun?
:27:37
Enemy planes again?
It's so early.
:27:54
All clear!
:27:56
The enemy has gone!
:27:58
All clear! The enemy has gone!
:28:02
Another spy plane, I betcha.
:28:04
Well, that's a B-29 vapor trail.
:28:07
Look how clear the sky is.
:28:10
It'll be hot today.
:28:11
Weather observation plane
Easerly calling Enola Gay.
:28:14
Calling Enola Gay.
:28:16
Weather's fair and clear
over Hiroshima.
:28:17
Conditions favorable
for bombing.
:28:19
Roger. Enola Gay getting ready
to drop on target.
:28:31
I better get going or
I'll be late for school.
:28:35
You're coming right home
after school, OK?
:28:37
We're going down
to the river, right?
:28:38
Right!
:28:40
- Promise?
- Promise!
:28:56
Father, Eiko, come here!
Look at this!
:28:59
What is it? Good heavens.
