Where is Saipan?
Asia-Pacific Map

Located in the western pacific, a short flight from Guam and 3 hours from Japan, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a popular tourist destination rich in history, culture and natural resources. Saipan, just 5 miles wide by 12 miles long, is the largest and most populated of the 14 islands making up an archipelago that stretches 400 miles (north to south) along the edge of the Marianas Trench.

About Tinian

Tinian is about 5 miles (8 km) southwest of its sister island, Saipan, from which it is separated by the Saipan Channel. It has a land area of 39 sq.mi. (101.01 km²). Tinian's largest village is San Jose. The island has a variety of flora and fauna, and limestone cliffs and caves.

Historically, it was from Tinian that the bombers Enola Gay and Bockscar from the 509th Composite Group carrying the atomic bombs Little Boy and Fat Man were launched against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Remains of the US bomber base and Atom Bomb Pits, and the remains of Japanese fortifications, can be found at North Field. There is a memorial on the old airfield at the loading pits. Saipan Bookings offers a 2, 4 or 6 hour historical, and cultural tour of the island.

Here is an amazing 1945 black&white film (discovered via blog.nuclearsecrecy.com) that shows the preparation of the bomb on the same field you'll be able to visit while on Tinian.

About The Northern Islands

The 14-island chain that comprises the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana islands geographically consists of two subgroups, (1) a northern group of ten volcanic main islands, all of which are currently uninhabited ("The Northern Islands"); and a southern group of five islands (Rota, Aguijan, Tinian and Saipan), all inhabited except Aguijan. In the northern volcanic group a maximum elevation of about 2,700 feet (820 m) is reached; there are craters showing signs of activity, and earthquakes are not uncommon. Near the islands can be found the lowest point on the surface of the Earth's crust, the Mariana Trench. Expeditions to the Northern islands (including Pagan) have been organized. Currently, no regular flights or boats to the islands are offered.
