Another entry into the 'Aviation Pinup Series' featuring each branch of the US Military... today's airbrushed style pinup photo features model Brittnee, the US Army Air Force, and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress! With a first flight in 1942, this iconic bomber would spell the end of World War 2. It was one of the largest, heaviest, and most expensive aircraft developed during World War 2 with each aircraft costing over $630,000 (over $9.7 million with inflation!). The B-29 was used by the US Army Air Force (and later US Air Force) along with the Royal Air Force until being finally retired in 1960. It served in World War 2 and the Korean War, being replaced by the B-52 Stratofortress. With a maximum speed of 357mpg and able to carry 5,000-20,000 pounds of bombs (based on altitude and distance travelled) this 74,500 pound aircraft could fly 3,250 miles and 31,850 feet to pound the enemy. It was outfitted with 8-10 .50 Cal remote control turrets, allowing the interior of the aircraft to be pressured and, in turn, warmed so the crew did not have to wear the heavy flight jackets/pants. The two most famous B-29s in the world, and what continues to make the B-29 famous, are the 'Enola Gay' and 'Bockscar' who dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan ending World War 2 in 1945. While nearly 4,000 B-29s were built from 1943-1946 during the main production, 22 have survived today with only two B-29s currently flying.
