Boeing B-29 Superfortress In Flight
The B-29 Superfortress had many new features, including guns that could be fired by remote control.
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.
