Ive been inside the B-29 at GA Veterans state park and it's awesome to be in one that's sitting still

It was a reconnaissance plane with cameras instead of bombs

They have the logbook and it only came back from ONE mission with all four engines running

Very Cool video... Both of my maternal Grandparents worked at the Willow Run bomber plant during WWII... They both passed away before I ever had the presence of mind to ask them about the war years...

Great video. I got to work as a volunteer on a B17 and a B24 at the Imperial War muesum at Duxford.

You might be surprised how many strikes and industrial disruptions occurred during the war, a real problem in the UK.

Great post!!! My mother worked at Bell Aircraft in Marietta during WWII building B-29s. My father served as a gunner on a B-29 stationed on Tinian in 44-46.

Thanks so much for that film. Amazing engineering and coordination. I don't think we could do it today.
