    The document discusses the B-29 Super Fortress bomber, the most advanced plane of WWII. It was used primarily in the Pacific Theater from 1944-1945, conducting its first combat mission over China in June 1944. The B-29 had technological advantages over Japanese planes and defenses, being able to fly higher and faster than enemy fighters, outside the range of anti-aircraft weapons. Its pressurized cabin and ability to fly at high altitudes influenced the modernization of passenger airplanes.

    in Technology

    What:
    The B-29 was the most state of the art plane
    during World War II that was designed, and
    produced by Boeing.

    Where:
    B-29s were mostly used in the Pacific Theater
    Campaign.

    Who:
    War Planes
    B-29 Super Fortress
    When:
    The first combat mission for the B-29s began
    June of 1944 in China. This was a test run for
    the B-29s before they started to head to
    Japanese home islands.

    Why:
    B-29 was able to fly at high altitude that
    Japanese fighter planes were not able to reach
    them, and able to catch up with them due to
    their speed. Anti-Aircraft weapons were not
    able to reach the altitude of the B-29.

    How does it benefit today in society.


    The B-29 had modernized passenger airplanes for flying at high
    altitudes. It was the first plane to have a pressurized cabin that
    crew members where able to fly high from enemy contact.
