Location: Reykjavik, IcelandA field operation order dated 2 August 1945 called for the attack to take place on 6 August, with Hiroshima to be the primary target. It is thought that Hiroshima was selected because the size and topography of the city made it suitable for testing the destructive capabilities of the atomic bomb, and for confirming the destructive effects later; and there was a concentration of military troops, installations, and factories in Hiroshima that had been spared previous bombing.
On 8 August 1945, Field Order No.17 issued from the 20th Air Force Headquarters on Guam called for the use of an atomic bomb the following day on either Kokura, the primary target, or Nagasaki, the secondary target. The same day, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. The B-29 bomber Bockscar reached Kokura on the morning of 9 August but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed course for Nagasaki, the secondary target, where it dropped the atomic bomb at 11:02 a.m.
