The Boeing B-29 "Superfortress" was designed in 1940 as an
eventual replacement for the B-17 and B-24. The first one built made
its maiden flight on Sept. 21, 1942. Technically a generation ahead of
all other heavy bomber types in World War II, the Superfortress was
pressurized for high altitudes and featured remotely-controlled gun
turrets. Most important, its four supercharged Wright R-3350-23
engines gave it the range to carry large bomb loads across the vast
reaches of the Pacific Ocean.
With the advent of the conflict in Korea in June 1950, the B-29 was
once again thrust into battle. For the next several years it was
effectively used for attacking targets in North Korea. This one is from
the 98th Bomb Group flying out of Okinawa.
