Boeing B-29 Superfortress Manual

1942–60 (all marks) Owners’ Workshop Manual An insight into the design operation maintenance and restoration of the USA's giant long-range heavy bomber The Boeing B-29 Superfortress has carved its name in history as the bomber aircraft that dropped the world's first ever atomic-bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Flown mainly by the USAAF towards the end of WW2 and later during the Korean War the four-engine B-29 was at the cutting edge of aeronautical design for its time with pressurised crew accommodation electronic fire-control system and remotely operated gun turrets. The centrepiece of this manual is the B-29 ’T Square 54’ currently being exquisitely restored to a non flying condition in Seattle WA.
