B-29 Superfortress

The B-29 Superfortress changed the face of war, being the first plane with a pressurized cabin and the first that could fly more than 3,000 miles. It's the bomber that brought down the Japanese Empire and ended World War II. The B-29 Superfortress revolutionized long-range bombing, but remarkably, it almost never made it to the battlefield. Follow the dramatic story of this iconic Air Warrior's short but impactful career, from the "Battle of Kansas"--the massive rush production to get the aircraft ready for combat in the Pacific--to its historic nuclear missions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to its last hurrah, bombing enemy airbases during the Korean War and evading the faster, more agile MiG jet.
