The boeing b 29 superfortress was the most technically complex bomber to fly during world war ii. it was the first bomber in history with pressurized compartments and a host of other innovations. advanced crew survival systems, targeting computers, engines, and avionics systems were all invented under the umbrella of the superfortress program. three days after enola gay executed its fateful.

Of nearly 50 b29 attacks flown from china in 1944 and early 1945, only nine actually hit japan, and these and others against targets in manchukuo, korea, china, formosa, and south east asia did little strategic damage. Designed by boeing, the superfortress was designed to meet army air corps specifications written in january 1940 and was then modified to provide heavier armament and bomb load. Its performance enabled long range systematic bombing of japan in 1944 and 1945. two modified b 29s dropped atomic bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki, japan in august 1945, helping end the war in the pacific. the b 29 continued in frontline bomber service through the korean war.
