Not only that but the army built 3 atomic bomb kits.

These kits were the equipment for 3 airbases. runways, offices, equipment for the atomic bombs’, office equipment. The whole kit and caboodle.

One was assembled in the sw usa for a testing. One was assembled in in the pacific. the third was held in reserve.
