The
B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine
propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by
Boeing that was flown primarily by the United States toward the end of
World War II and during the
Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft to have seen service during World War II and a very advanced bomber for its time, with features such as a
pressurized cabin, an electronic fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine-gun turrets. The name "Superfortress" was derived from that of its well-known predecessor, the
B-17 Flying Fortress. Although designed as a high-altitude
strategic bomber, and initially used in this role against the
Empire of Japan, these attacks proved to be disappointing; as a result the B-29 became the primary aircraft used in the American
firebombing campaign, and was used extensively in low-altitude night-time
incendiary bombing missions. One of the B-29's final roles during World War II was carrying out the
atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
