The B-29 Superfortress is a heavy bomber aircraft developed by the Boeing Company during World War II. It was designed for long-range missions and featured advanced technology for its time, including a pressurized cabin and remote-controlled gun turrets. The B-29 played a crucial role in the Pacific Theater, conducting strategic bombing missions against Japan. One of the most notable aspects of the B-29 is its use in dropping atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. This marked a significant moment in history, leading to the end of World War II. The B-29 remains an iconic symbol of military aviation.
