The 6th Bomb Group

The atomic bomb pits were used to load the atomic bombs on the B-29s of the 509th Composite Group (the "Atom Bombers"). Here, the Enola Gay backs up over the bomb pit containing the atomic bomb.

An aerial view of the atomic bomb pits today.  The entire area is now overgrown with vegetation.  The atomic bomb pits from the northwest, facing southeast.
