Description of  Superfortress the Boeing B-29 - Aircraft Specials series (Squadron/Signal Publications 6028)

The design, production and testing of the B-29 Superfortress was one of the most notable achievements of American Industry. Less than five years after the Boeing Company submitted its design for the world's first truly strategic bomber, the B-29s were laying waste to Japan. The B-29 was an airplane of superlatives, the world's first pressurized bomber, the world's heaviest production airplane, with the most powerful engines and highest wing loading.
