Boeing B-29 Superfortress History:

Manufactured by Boeing, the B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber that was flown by the United States in World War II and the Korean War. The first flight of the B-29 Superfortress was on the 21 September 1942 and introduced on May 8 1944.

The B-29 Superfortress is the most expensive and largest aircraft during World War II. The B-29 was used in 1950-53 in the Korean War. At first, the bomber was used in normal strategic day-bombing missions, though North Korea's few strategic targets and industries were quickly reduced to rubble. The plane was also used to attack and bomb Japan's cities. The B-29 is an spectacular creation that had met its production cost. Before the end of World War II, the aircraft was used as the main aircraft of the U.S. Air Forces in bombing Japan. The B-29s carried the nuclear bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Unlike many other WWII-era bombers, the B-29 remained in service long after the war ended, with a few even being employed as flying television transmitters for the Stratovision company. The type was finally retired in the early 1960s, with 3,960 aircraft in all built.

The B-29 is considered as one of the most progressive bombers during its period. It featured innovations such as a pressurized cabin, a key fire-control structure, and unmanned car artillery turrets. The aircraft was developed as a high-altitude daytime bomber and flew more low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing missions. After the war ended, the B-29 still remained in service for a longer time. Some were also used as a flying television transmitter for Stratovision, an airborne television transmission relay system from aircraft flying at high altitudes.
