B-29A #44-61535 was assigned to the 28th Bombardment Squadron and deployed to Kadena Air Force Base in Japan during the Korean War. The aircraft wore the nose-art titled "Raz'n Hell" and flew over 50 combat missions. After the war, the airframe was retired to the NAWS China Lake for use as a test target. In 1980, it was recovered and moved to its present home at the Air Force Museum based at Castle Air Force Base in Atwater, California. Designed to meet an American need for a very heavy, long range bomber, the B-29 Superfortress was first flown on September 21st, 1942. The USAAF's intent in building the B-29 was to have an aircraft that was capable of winning the war through sheer destructive power-by destroying the enemy homeland. This mid-wing bomber had four 3,500 horsepower Pratt & Whitney engines. It required a crew of 10 specialists and gunners and had a sophisticated weapons system that included guns mounted in electrically powered turrets in the dorsal, ventral and tail positions. The guns were operated by internal periscope systems. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc. The Air Force 1 range presents detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft.
