B-29 Superfortress
The B-29 "Superfortress" that first took flight on September 21, 1942, was
the culmination of a war department request issued to aircraft manufacturers in January 1940. Production of the B-29 would become the single largest aircraft program of the war, and when production ceased nearly 4000
aircraft had been delivered to the USAAF.
With its’ wingspan over 141 feet, its’ length of 99 feet and its’ four 2,200
horsepower engines, this "Superbomber" designed by the Boeing aircraft
company would be in service with 61 (VH) Very Heavy Bombardment
squadrons when the war ended.
The island hopping campaign developed by the war department was
designated to liberate strategically located islands from the Japanese.
These islands would become home to the airfields of the vast airborne
armada of B-29 "Superfortresses".
Although initially deployed to remote airfields in China and India. The
liberation of the Marianas Islands during the summer of 1944 signaled the
beginning of the massive "Superfortress" build-up. Operating from hastily
constructed airfields on the islands of Guam, Saipan and Tinian, waves of
heavily laden B-29s initiated the strategic bombing campaign that would
cripple the Japanese war effort.
dropped the world’s first nuclear weapon on the city of Hiroshima. Followed
by the dropping of another such weapon on the city of Nagasaki, three days
later. Following the Japanese surrender, B-29s were retained as the United
States premier strategic bomber.
In the summer of 1950, the "Superfortress" returned to combat in the
skies over Korea. The first unit to see combat was brought up from Guam
to be stationed at Kadena AB on the Island of Okinawa. Other B-29 units
were deployed to Yokota AB in Japan. From these bases, the bombers
could easily range to any Korean target. The B-29 was in combat shortly
after the Korean War started through to the last day of the conflict.
The "Superfortress" was fitted with two pressurized crew compartments that were designed to improve aircrew comfort on the fatiguing
long-range missions. Nearly twenty thousand pounds of ordnance could be
carried in the two huge bomb bays; four powerful Wright "Cyclone" engines
equipped with dual exhaust driven superchargers, were nestled in streamlined nacelles. The "Superforts" were heavily armed with ten machine guns
mounted in four remote controlled turrets and two additional machine guns
and a twenty-millimeter cannon (deleted on later aircraft) were fitted in the
tail of each B-29.
On the morning of August 6, 1945 a single specially modified B-29
