Product Highlights
The B-29 Superfortress, best known as the aircraft to drop the nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was a strategic bomber used during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the largest operational planes during the Second World War, and very advanced for its era, including a pressurized cabin and an electronic fire-control system. Nearly 4,000 units were manufactured — seeing service in four nations — and it was not officially retired until 1960.
