The WWII Flying Superfortress - B-29

@@lemonbikini777 Thanks!

Not surprising considering the silver lion cost.

Crazy to also think of how 88 took off that day, but only 2 of those planes (not the exact ones) still fly.

The industrial power of the US never cease to amaze me. WW1 the US feeds and supplies the biggest war in human history. WW2 the US does ths same while also handling a large portion of all global shipping, also researching a big portion of technological innovation, and also fighting on 3 continents and from the other side of the globe. Cold War the US rebuilds the western world and supplies/funds nations as diverse as South Korea, south Vietnam, western Europe, and various parties, freedom fighters/terrorists, and governments across the world effectively out spending the Soviet Union and PRC several times over. Even Today the States of New York, California, and Texas each individually have economies roughly the size of Russia.

I dont get it

"Imagine what would it be like being a Pilot in this WW2 Strategic bomber"

sewer rat sigh I’ll explain in almost every infographics video he says “imagine if you were this guy and had to go through this” Lol

My grandpappy was a gunner at an B-29 he was shot by a Me-262

sewer rat Are you slow??

None of them hit a bomber though and were shot down before they had the chance.

@@lockheedmartin2112 actually Japanese would mostly ram b17s

@@pov1698 I meant no B-29 Superfortress was ever rammed, but I should've clarified that in the first comment I made.

mrwiggles The germans did ram Americans b-17 in the European theater

@@BusinessMan_ForthePeople yes but Japan added honor to their deaths

Superfortress* The Flying Fortress title was given to the B-17.

my ideal girl

-has the firepower of a Star Destroyer

-can carry nuclear bombs

My Grandpa was a flight engineer on a B-29, never learned the name of the plane he was on though.

@@geoffreywozniak3553 my great uncle was the pilot of the Chicago Queen. I have a list of the people who dealt with some of the people who dealt with the plane and everyone on the crew. if you want i could look and see if this one was his? Does he share your last name?

Why great grandpa was Part of the US military (can't remember the branch) in WW2. He was in Japan when one of nukes hit.

@Christopher Morey I'm pretty sure the bullets wouldn't be able to hit them since they're 25000 feet in the air

Wow

Lol

Well in the beginning of the video the b-29 identified as a male but half way through it changed it mine. C’mon bro it classic gender studies 101

@@lilhomiebro7539 don't mind him hes just a cis white male he doesn't get the genderfluidity of aerial combat vehicles

@@crispylizard8295 did you just assume his gender though? 🤨

@@crispylizard8295 oh sh*t I just did too. None of us are safe.

But only a FEW Japanese fighters that could reach B-29s altitude, secondly the USAAF focused more on low level firebombing of Japan and then climb back to their high altitude again during their return flight

@@ramal5708 The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Jack) was a the only real interceptor and maybe the Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki (Tojo). The other fighters could reach up high could be the Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Frank) and Kawasaki Ki-100 Hien (Tony maybe? Its predecessor the Ki-61 was Tony for sure).

Mainly because the bombsights on the B-29's weren't accurate enough from such high altitudes. The bombers were thus sent to fly low altitude missions for greater accuracy but at the cost of greater losses.

A NATO plane? The USSR was never apart of NATO

US: Whew! You saved us, thanks for the fuel. Soviets: What fuel? US: The uhh... fuel for our planes Soviets: What planes?

Eddie Pancho Code named “The Bull” by NATO, just like how the NATO cade names the MIG-29 by “Fulcrum” and so on.

Eddie Pancho nato code is how NATO refers to enemy aircraft,tanks,etc

Mike Murray yeah they were jerks when it came to having stuff

In War Thunder bombers like this almost got no chance to prove itself tho, almost always get bullied

Haha so true even tho the b-29 is a superfortress of sticks

@@cardiv5zuikaku944 they lowered the repair costs a littks though, right?

Being a bomber crewman in ww2 had some of the highest mortality rates so probably not very badass

If you consider being pumped with flak shrapnel and high calibre cannons "Badass", then sure

Well badass and freezing

PTSD FOR THE WIN BABBY

@StodgyPigeon061, Actually B-29 gunners had it easy, the guns were remote operated, and given that the B-29 had a maximum service ceiling of around 33 THOUSAND feet and max airspeed of (and no this isn't bs) 350mph... the Japanese had little that could even HOPE to touch this thing. Funny enough though, that's probably why the B-29 wasn't approved for European use, because the B-17 was considered adequate, and the Germans actually had planes that could reach this plane reliably.

I see the comedy in the post, but the Zero was never the best plane. It couldnt dive, and couldnt catch US fighters in a straight line. US pilots took advantage of it and used Energy fighting to beat the zeros

Big deal... the Junkers Ju-86P and R had it as well years before... but only for two man crew and only for a single rifle caliber MG in the tail.

@@Cuccos19 they didn’t lol

Yes but something people don't realize and like most other poorly researched videos on the B29 that get things wrong is that while in combat the cabins weren't pressurized, standard procedure was for the crew to don their oxygen masks and for the flight engineer to depressurize the fuselage to eliminate the possibility of an explosive decompression during battle in the event they were hit.

It's called a fake friend

Because back then China wasn't a communist country

@@ramenns9693 Yup, and then Mao and Communism strikes. Whoa.

George Bush said there is a strategy I have, which is to control a country, which will lead to attracting Muslims, overthrowing Western and American regimes, and establishing an Islamic empire from Spain to Indonesia. Richard Myers said: Our exit from Iraq will lead to the emergence of an Islamic caliphate French President Sarkozy said: There is no need to use the language of wood. There are Islamic extremists seeking this confrontation to establish an Islamic caliphate, and I do not underestimate the possibility of a confrontation between Muslims. Vladimir Putin said: The international terrorist group has declared war on Russia to carve out and control parts of Russia and establish an Islamic caliphate. The British Minister said: There is no discussion regarding the possibility of an Islamic caliphate

The ccp is evil and is killing its people, e.g. the Uyghur.

Ok

The Russians actually built a TB-3 parasite aircraft carrier, I believe it was even used in combat once and I think it was quite effective, the Americans passed around the idea of doing the same thing with the 747.

@@tatevolk7553 I just looked into it, it is called Zveno project. It wasn't a full blown carrier but it held a few aircraft. It was actually very effective. Too bad nothing came of it after 1942.

yep it became te B-50 superfortress

@@lenoreallen8859 Basically the same but with new features

@Ziad Khaled probably the German fighter, can't remember the name, it's all subjective though, since they fought on the same side.

@Ziad Khaled early US Navy Planes kinda "sluggish" if you compare to Zero, that said, they are better armored, Saburo Sakai once feels confident and only shoot his 7.7 mm against american F4F wildcats, much to his surprise the wildcaf still flying despite taking so many hits, he said if it a Zero, it will already turn into ball of flame.

If u watched 5 seconds longer they said it was only the best at the start of the war

@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts yes. Which it wasnt. It was the best fighter in the Pacific at the start of the war, not the world.

Very angry shell

These videos are filled with ads

Nope, the conventions that established air bombardment warcrimes happened after this. A lot of the things that became war crimes were made war crimes because of WW2. Many of them were brought up because of WW1, but the nations of the world couldn't agree on much of anything and thus did a whole lotta nothing. Also, Imperial Japan had a different idea about what constituted acceptable wartime conduct so it's entirely possible that Japan wouldn't have been protected by international agreements or internal policies anyway. Many such rules have conditions for excluding bad faith actors, noncompliants, and/or non signatories. It's a warcrime to bomb a church, but hypothetically if enemies are fighting from inside it it's a free target. If it has been militarized it is a free target. If the enemy makes a regular habit of bombing churches themselves turnabout is fair play. While these international agreements (and internal policies they influence) generally also cover engagements with non signatories; non participation in the agreements doesn't usually engender much sympathy when the protections are needed, especially if paired with noncompliance or bad faith actions. Gotta play by the rules or nobody will care when you get cheated.

@@duddude321 I personaly think that in all out war nobody cares about the rules if they are losing.

What? Lol 🤔

no it’s in the videos he didn’t add it to home
