Description
File# 0917.... FIFI 2011 The nose of the Commemorative Air Force's B-29A Boeing Superfortress Bomber - "FIFI" - Taken in 2011.
The B-29 Superfortress... No other aircraft ever combined as many technological advances as the B-29. Designed for a specific strategic task, it later spawned the double-deck Stratocruiser airliner and the KC-97 tanker/transport, and laid the foundation for thr super-successful Boeing airliner series.
As well as being noteworthy for its technological advances, the B-29 also provided the Societ Union with the starting block for the entire Tupolev heavy aircraft lineage, when US aircraft force-landed on Soviet at the end of WWII.
Amazingly the work on the Boeing B-29, as a replacement for the Boeing B-17, had started more than three years before the USA entered WWII, in October 1938.
