the bomb bay of the Boeing "Enola Gay" to accept the Hiroshima bomb?
Points deducted for Googling.

Not sure if googling would work, as Enola Gay is one of 15 B-29s modified
specifically for the atomic bomb missions. The planes were fitted with new
engines and propellers and faster-acting pneumatic bomb bay doors in total
over 500 likee it where manufactured at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft
Factory in Omaha ?
