Known to many as the "Superfortress", this WWII bomber brought an end to the war on the pacific front with its two atomic raids. The B-29 was armed with two 12.7-mm machine guns in each of four remotely controlled power-operated turrets, and a varied armament in the tail turret. With such a large array of weapons, it is no wonder that a total of 4,000 of these planes were built. Designed to meet an American need for a very heavy, long range bomber, the B-29 Superfortress was first flown on September 21st, 1942. The USAAF's intent in building the B-29 was to have an aircraft that was capable of winning the war through sheer destructive power-by destroying the enemy homeland. This mid-wing bomber had four 3,500 horsepower Pratt & Whitney engines. It required a crew of 10 specialists and gunners and had a sophisticated weapons system that included guns mounted in electrically powered turrets in the dorsal, ventral and tail positions. The guns were operated by internal periscope systems. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
