The Air Force Museum's B-29 Superfortress is Bockscar, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb over Nagasaki.  The red bomb emblem above the plane's nose art represents that mission, while the others represent more standard bombing missions.  

Below that you can see a replica of the Fat Man atomic bomb along with a replica of Little Boy, which had been dropped over Hiroshima by the Enola Gay just days before.  The Enola Gay is in the possession of the Smithsonian and is on display at the Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center.
