Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber
View of Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber aircraft. Label on back: "Superfortress, fastest of all heavy bombers. Aerodynamic beauty is inherent in the tapering fuselage, the great sweep of wings that span more than 141 feet, the elongated nose and the streamlined engine nacelles of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. The Boeing-designed and developed B-29, now in quantity production by Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers, carries the greatest bomb load, farther and faster than any other military aircraft in the world today. External armament details are not shown in this picture for security reasons. Cleared by the War Department. From: Boeing News Bureau, Seattle, Wichita." Stamped on back: "Courtesy of News Bureau, Boeing Aircraft Company, Seattle, Washington. Designers and builders of the B-29 Superfortress, B-17 Flying Fortress, Stratoliner, Clipper. *Registered Boeing trade marks." Handwritten on back: "B-29 bombers. Aircraft in action."
