View of Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber aircraft assembly lines at the Boeing Airplane Company's Wichita, Kansas plant. Label on back: "From: Boeing Airplane Company, Wichita, Kansas. Photo no. BW-23975. The immense scope of Boeing-Wichita's mass production job on the world's greatest warplane is graphically illustrated in this cross-section view of the B-29 Superfortress assembly lines in the Wichita Division bomber plant of Boeing Airplane company. The same Boeing multiline system of production that sent thousands of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses into battle has been adapted to the Superfortress in such a manner that Boeing-Wichita has consistently met--sometimes even exceeded--delivery schedules set up by the Army Air Forces. In fact, at the request of the AAF, these schedules are now in process of sharp upward revision in the Wichita plants. For more than a year in production on the B29, Boeing-Wichita has turned out the vast majority of the great aerial dreadnaughts which so far have been operating against Japan. Up to the present time Boeing-Wichita is the only manufacturing facility in the Superfortress program carrying out full mass production requirements on the B-29."
