The Boeing B 29 Superfortress will be remembered as the apparatus to have made use of the atomic weapon in war action; in fact, airplanes of this type that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to force Japan to surrender in August 1945. Apart from that, however, the Boeing B 29 was an excellent aircraft, with avant-garde features, including turrets with automatically maneuverable weapons at a distance and pressurized compartments for the crew. The American interest in a bomber capable of carrying a considerable offensive load over long distances and at high speeds dates back to the Boeing XB 15 of 1933. Although in the second half of that decade, the interest in such a weapon fades, Boeing continued to elaborate the design of similar projects, culminating in the 341 model, which was believed to be capable of carrying a cargo of 2,240 pounds (just over 1,000 kg) of bombs with a flight range of 7,000 miles (11,265 km) at a speed of over 400 miles/h (644 km/h). However, with the outbreak of World War II in Europe and the possibility of a forthcoming American involvement in it, the US Air Force Corps (USAC) again showed interest in any weapon that would put the United States in the possibility of bombing the enemy even at very great distances. So in February 1940, the request was made of the so-called "Hemisphere Defense Weapon" (weapon for the defense of the hemisphere), namely a bomber capable of transporting 2,000 pounds (907 km) of bombs over a distance of 5,333 miles (8,600 km) at a speed of 400 miles / h (644 km/h). The bomber should have also self-supporting tanks, good armored protection, heavy defensive armament and a chance to transport 16,000 pounds (7,250 kg) of offensive cargo.

Nuova edizione riveduta, aggiornata e ampliata. Il Boeing B 29 Superfortress (superfortezza volante) sarà ricordato come l’apparecchio ad aver fatto uso dell’arma atomica in azione di guerra; furono, infatti, aerei di questo tipo che sganciarono le bombe atomiche su Hiroshima e Nagasaki per costringere il Giappone alla resa nell’agosto 1945. A parte ciò, comunque, il Boeing B 29 fu un aereo eccellente, con caratteristiche di avanguardia, comprese torrette con armi manovrabili automaticamente a distanza e compartimenti pressurizzati per l’equipaggio. L’interesse americano per un bombardiere capace di trasportare un notevole carico offensivo su lunghe distanze e ad alte velocità risale al Boeing XB 15 del 1933. Benché, nella seconda metà di quel decennio, l’interesse per una tale arma si affievolisce, la Boeing continuò a elaborare il disegno di progetti simili, culminati nel modello 341, che si credette capace di portare un carico di 2.240 libbre (poco più di 1.000 kg) di bombe con un autonomia di volo di 7.000 miglia (11.265 km) a una velocità di oltre 400 miglia/h (644 km/h). Tuttavia, con lo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale in Europa e la possibilità di un prossimo coinvolgimento americano in essa, il Corpo Aeronautico dell’Esercito americano (USAAC) mostro nuovamente interesse per qualsiasi arma che mettesse gli Stati Uniti nella possibilità di bombardare il nemico anche a grandissime distanze. Perciò nel febbraio 1940, fu fatta la richiesta della cosiddetta “Hemisphere Defense Weapon” (arma per la difesa dell’emisfero), e cioè di un bombardiere capace di trasportare 2.000 libbre (907 km) di bombe su una distanza di 5.333 miglia (8.600 km) a una velocità di 400 miglia/h (644 km/h). Il bombardiere avrebbe dovuto avere anche serbatoi autostagnanti, una buona protezione blindata, un armamento difensivo pesante ed una possibilità di trasportare 16.000 libbre (7.250 kg) di carico offensivo.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress lived an operational life of only 26 years, but what a life it was. The introduction to this book provides basic information on the physical plane: dimensions, specs, leading particulars and operational usages. Then an exhaustive day-by-day chronology of the B-29 is presented--from the earliest designs in 1934 through thousands of missions and aircraft events in World War II and Korea to the 1960 retirement of the last operational B-29. The book also includes an extensive glossary and three appendices, which provide a discussion of the general anatomy of a mission, a sample of operational voice or radio codes used in 1945, and a guide to (very unofficial) aircraft names.

«Abbiamo il più bel bombardiere del mondo». Così pubblicava il New York Times la mattina del 29 luglio 1935 dopo che il giorno precedente il Modello 299, progenitore di uno dei più famosi aerei di tutti i tempi, il Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, aveva effettuato il primo volo su Seattle con ai comandi il capo-collaudatore della Boeing, Leslie R. Tower. Il Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress (Fortezza volante) era un aereo quadrimotore della classe dei bombardieri pesanti. Venne impiegato principalmente dalle Army Air Forces nelle campagne di bombardamento strategico contro bersagli tedeschi di tipo industriale, civile e militare. L'8ª Air Force (Forza Aerea) di base in Inghilterra e la 15ª Air Force di base in Italia si unirono al Bomber Command (comando bombardieri) della RAF nell'Operazione Pointblank, per assicurare la superiorità aerea sulle città, le fabbriche e i campi di battaglia nell'Europa occidentale. Questa operazione era un preparativo per lo sbarco in Normandia.
