The B-29 "Superfortress" that first took flight on September 21, 1942, was the culmination of a war department request issued to aircraft manufactur-ers in January 1940. Production of the B-29 would become the single larg-est 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. On the morning of August 6, 1945 a single specially modified B-29
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 compart-ments 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 stream-lined 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.
