No. 33 B-29 Superfortress Units of World War 2

{detailed description}The ultimate piston-engined heavy bomber of World War 2, the first production B-29s were delivered to the 58th Very Heavy Bomb Wing in the autumn of 1943. By the spring of 1944 the Superfortress was bombing targets in the Pacific, and by war's end the aircraft had played as great a part as any weapon in ending the conflict with the Japanese. Indeed, the final dropping of two atomic bombs from specially-modified Silverplate B-29s convinced the Japanese to sue for peace. This volume details the aircraft's combat history with the five bomb wings that flew the B-29 from bases in China, India and the Pacific islands. It includes a wealth of first-hand accounts, 40 all-new colour profiles supported by in-depth plates commentaries, a three-page nose art gallery, 1/144th scale drawings and more than 80 black and white photographs of the mighty Superfortress in combat.
