The B-29 was also the heaviest production plane because of increases in range, bomb load and defensive requirements.īy the end of the World War II, the Boeing Wichita plant had built 1,644 B-29s, nearly 65 percent of the total produced during the war. The tail gunner had a separate pressurized area that could only be left during un pressurized flight. The crew areas were pressurized and connected by a long tube over the bomb bays. The B-29 had many new features, including guns that could be fired by remote control. During the last two months of 1944, B-29s began operating against Japan from the islands of Saipan, Guam and Tinian. In December 1943 it was decided not to use the B-29 in the European Theater, thereby permitting the airplane to be sent to the Pacific area where its great range made it particularly suited for the long over-water flight required to attack the Japanese homeland from bases in China. The first one built made its maiden flight on September 21, 1942. The Boeing B-29 was designed in 1940 as an eventual replacement for the B-17 and B-24.
