Description

The Boeing B-29 was one of the most sophisticated aircraft of WWII. It featured many innovations including guns that could be fired by remote control and pressurized crew compartments. It was also the heaviest production plane of the war with terrific range and bomb carrying capabilities.

Carrying a crew of ten, the Superfortress devastated Japan in a series of gigantic raids in 1944-45. In the end it would be the B-29s “Enola Gay” and “Bock’s Car” that dropped the atomic bombs and effectively ended the conflict.

Originally printed by the USAAF in January of 1944, this manual was originally classified “Restricted”. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white.
