Aircraft Models of the B-29 Superfortress the most advanced WW2 Bomber

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.  If you know of any other B-29 movies, videos or DVD 's please let me know. 

Boeing B-17 B -29 & Lancaster (Legends of the Air, 2)
Boeing made reality the operational concept of strategic bombing with the B-17 Flying Fortress. In combat, the B-17 had to fight a difficult battle to prove the concept of daylight bombing. In operation through the darkest hours over both Europe and the Pacific, the B17  became the hallmark bomber of WW2 and paved the way for not only for its peers but its successors. 

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.
