wheels are down, the drag of
the plane is doubled, so clean
are its lines.
Development Of the B-29 has
been the Army Air Forces big
gest secret, and it has been we'll
kept. Its planning began IN
1886. In August 1910, Boeins
was authorized to build the first
three experimental models. The
first was completed and test
flown in September 194l, but in
the previous May the Army had
ordered quantity production be-
gun.
The B-2S isn't a commercial
ship. It's wing goes right
through the middle of the body
and the body is too small for
cargo or transport. There is q
commercial version under way,
but the peacetime future of the
Superfortress will probably be
limited to girdling the globe like
policeman with the world as
his beat. AS a fighting ship,
, however, the story of the B-29
is lust beginning.

Nobody knows, either. how

last off the lines may cost as

is cheap when you consider what

Armor is built right into the

to meet all the requirements
