History’s deadliest bomber | B-29 Superfortress
With the dubious honour of being history’s deadliest bomber and the only aircraft to drop a nuclear weapon in combat, the B-29 Superfortress is arguably the most important, and controversial, aircraft in human history. Its story is one of ground-breaking innovation, human daring, unimaginable destruction, and decisions that would dictate the course of the twentieth century. This is the B-29 Superfortress.
