Boeing B-29 Superfortress
Pace, Steve
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was the most advanced and successful of all World War Two bombers. Conceived in the late 1930s as a high-speed, high-altitude, long-range 'Super Bomber', the first prototype B-29 did not fly until September 1942. But it entered the war in time to make a significant impact, including the dropping of the two atomic bombs that led to the surrender of Japan and the end of the war.
Steve Pace has written the complete history of this extraordinarily advanced aircraft, including full details of its design, manufacture and service with the American forces during World War Two, the Korean War and after, and with the British Royal Air Force during the 1950s. He also includes information on the Soviet-built B-29 copy - the Tu-4 'Bull'. Enlivened with first-hand accounts of wartime servicemen and many high-quality photographs, this is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the 'Superfort'.
