Bombers played a major role in World War II and came in different types, such as single-engine, twin-engine, and multi-engine planes. Japan manufactured kamikaze attack planes called "cherry blossoms" that caused many casualties, while the U.S. produced B-29 Superfortress bombers like the Enola Gay and Bockscar that dropped atomic bombs on Japan, ending the war. The development of multi-engine bombers changed the war but also led to great loss of life, demonstrating the destructive power of war.
