Top Aviation Expert Reveals Shocking Truth About the B-29

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine heavy bomber designed by Boeing and used primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. Designed for high-altitude strategic bombing, the B-29 was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time. Its most famous legacy was its use in dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, making it the only aircraft ever used to deliver a nuclear attack in combat.?

The B-29 was developed with unprecedented technology. It featured a pressurized cabin, tricycle landing gear, and an analog computer-controlled fire control system. These innovations allowed the gunner and fire controller to remotely operate four machine gun turrets. This technology provided a tactical advantage in air combat and made the B-29 well-protected at high operating altitudes, up to 30,000 feet (9,100 meters).
