BOEING B-29 SUPERFORTRESS

$9.95

Title: Boeing B-29 Superfortress

The B-29 was designed to a specification issued in 1940 for a very long range trans-oceanic bomber and first flew in 1942. It was much more advanced than the B-17 being fully pressurised with remotely operated gun turrets. In spite of its complexity, size and cost, over 4,000 were built, remaining in operational service until well past the Korean War.

It is most well known as the aircraft which dropped the two atomic bombs at the end of WW2. A heavier and more powerful version was built as the B-50.

We offer two titles on this famous bomber which include four flight manuals for several variants of the Boeing B-29 series. Each title is US$9.95. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
