The B-29 crew areas were pressurized and connected by a long tube over the bomb bays. The tail gunner had a separate pressurized area that could only be left during unpressurized flight. The B-29 used the high-speed Boeing 117 airfoil, and its larger Fowler flaps added to the wing area as they increased lift. Modifications led to the B-29D, upgraded to the B-50, and the RB-29 photo reconnaissance aircraft. The B-29 Superfortress was primarily used in the Pacific theater during World War II. After World War II, B-29s were adapted for several functions, including in-flight refueling, anti-submarine patrol, weather reconnaissance and rescue duty. The B-29 saw military service in Korea between 1950 and 1953, battling new adversaries: jet fighters and electronic weapons. The last B-29 Superfortress in squadron use retired from service in September 1960.The B-29 Superfortress had a top speed of 365 mph, a range of 5,830 miles and a ceiling of 31,850 feet.BI45141 (BIV15_B-29_03)Maximum size:720px × 480px (~73 MB)License type:Rights ManagedDuration:3m31sKeywords:1940s-aerial views-air to air-airplanes-B-29 Superfortress (Model 345)-Boeing-bombers-cockpits-day-flying in formation-full body views-glare-historic production status-inside looking out-large-military-military livery-monoplanes-mountains-propeller planes-several/groups-shine-silver color-snow-unpainted-vintage / retroRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:B-29 Superfortress
