Aircraft Models of the B-29 Superfortress the most advanced WWII Military Aircraft Model Bombers.One was the B-29's was the Enola Gay which was used to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Built by Lockheed these B29 models are a great way to enjoy history and hobbies. The Enola Gay, a B29 Superfortress, was used to drop the "A Bomb" over Hiroshima which marked the ending of the war against Japan. The B-29 was made by Boeing Aircraft Company and has launched Boeing into being the largest aircraft company in the world. This page has as many B-29 Movies that I can find.

Boeing
B-17 B -29 & Lancaster (Legends of the Air, 2)
England meanwhile had in the Lancaster possibly the finest strategic bomber of WW2 on a payload / range basis and chose a different operational path than the Americans in optimizing their aircraft for night operations against Germany. The development and operational record of this fine aircraft is fully detailed and backed up by a plethora of never before seen photos and specially commissioned artwork. The ultimate heavy bomber of the era was Boeing's B-29. Pressurized, able to fly above the flak, computerized, and armed to the teeth with automatic defensive .50 caliber guns, the B29 flew missions over distances not even imaginable a decade earlier and ushered in a new era of large aircraft design that would give birth to both the long range airliners and bombers of the postwar era. |

Dear Sirs,
Bill Streifer on
Long Island, NY is
doing research for a book on the subject of Japanese/Soviet and North Korean
development of nuclear/chemical weapons at Hamhung, Korea. I am attempting
to trying assist Mr. Streifer with the aviation assets of two B-29 missions
relative to the Hamhung complex in
WWII and the
Korean War.
On 29 August 1945, a 73rd BW 500th BG, 882nd BS, B-29-80-BW, #4470136, "Hog Wild" commanded by Joseph W. McQueen was forced down by a gaggle of four Yaks over Hamhung. "Hog Wild" was alleged to have been one of three B-29s engaged in dropping food and supplies to POWS in the Hamhung area. Speculation exists that the "Hog Wild" was engaged in a photo recon of the nuke/chemical factories. On 22 October 1951, the "Florence Morning News", Florence, SC, recounted that,..."In the air war, nine B-29 Superforts assigned to a 'very special' target in North Korea had turn back when fighter cover failed to arrive..." One of those nine B-29s was 98th BG, 343rd SQ, B-29-40-MO, 44-27341, "Dreamer" (formerly Elsie The Armored Cow?). On 1 March 1951, 7341 attacked the Kogungong-dung Bridge and was damaged by flak and a Mig-15 attack conducted by Lt. Kolyadin Victor Ivanovich. I show 7341 was involved in an accident in Japan on 23 Dec. 1951. We believe that adequate evidence exists to support the supposition that the mission of 22 October 1951 was to remove the threat of alleged nuke-armed Soviet TU-4/TU-85s in Manchuria and the nuke/chemical plants in Hamhung. Perhaps, a covert ground Operation Broken Reed commanded by LTC. Arthur L. Boyd which was commenced subsequent to the failed aerial mission of 22 Oct 1951 was also linked to military operations in these areas. Are you aware of any data that would support our assumptions? Also, I noted Nolan Strange's small black and white photo of 7341, shows a slightly different nose art, was this a prior artwork?
Thanks.
Regards.
John D. Bybee
