What is Flight Duration: Tinian to Hiroshima about?

The first nuclear bombing mission targeted Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. The Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, took off from Tinian Island and dropped the "Little Boy" atomic bomb over Hiroshima between 31,000 and 9,400 feet. The bomb detonated 1,900 feet above the city, destroying a 4.4 square mile radius and killing an estimated 70,000-80,000 people instantly. The blast wave was felt 11.5 miles away by the Enola Gay. This bombing marked the first use of a nuclear weapon in warfare.
