It was the largest and most powerful bomber of the Second World War and was still in service in the early stages of the Cold War.
The maximum take-off weight could be more than twice that of the previous model, the Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress”.
The letter “B” in the designation stood for bomber.
The B-29 is one of the most complex and cost-intensive armament programs of the Second World War.
The Twentieth Air Force of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) first used the four-engine mid-wing aircraft in the summer of 1944.
The B-29 aircraft were also used for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
