Plus they knew that one bomb wouldn’t be enough. One bomb could be all that we had. They had to prove otherwise. I’ve heard that they were finishing the assembly of the second bomb in-route, but that seems like an old wives tale to me. I don’t think you can make atomic bombs in the cargo hold of a jostling bomber aircraft.

I vaguely remember the core and the rest of the assembly being transported separately. But that was on purpose, not out of hurry.
