The USS Indianapolis I got interested in this because all the accounts of the USS Indianapolis going to Tinian only mention "Little Boy." It seems that structural, non radioactive parts for both bombs were carried to Tinian by the USS Indianapolis. However, the plutonium for the core was flown in by four separate C-54 airplanes called "Green Hornets."

There are two ways to look at this.The first is the population of Indianapolis proper, meaning population WITHIN Indianapolis's city limits. As of the 2014 Federal census, there were 848,788 residents within the City.The second way to look at this, is the metropolitan area of Indianapolis. This is an area that includes not only the corporate city limits of Indianapolis, but many outlying areas (bedroom areas/suburbs/outskirts) that are an integral part of Indianapolis's street/highway systems, business sectors, and users of the City's resources, assets, and opportunities. When you add those people into the City's population, the population number balloons to 1,988,817.These statistics are from the 2014 U.S. Census, so the numbers may have changed since then. But until the next census is taken (another eight years or so), population numbers won't be updated with hard facts.
