U.S. Army Air Corps members load a prototype for the atomic bomb "Little Boy" as part of training at Wendover Army Air Field during World War II. The facility ? now Wendover Airport ? was originally built as a top-secret base used in training for the missions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, where the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs toward the end of World War II in 1945.
