Enola Gay

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a groundbreaking bomber that played a crucial role in World War II, particularly in the Pacific Theater. The B-29 was the aircraft chosen to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945, which ultimately led to the end of World War II.

It was the most technologically advanced propeller-driven bomber of its time, featuring pressurized crew compartments, a highly sophisticated remote-controlled defensive weapons system, and advanced radar and avionics equipment. These innovations allowed the B-29 to fly at higher altitudes and longer distances than its predecessors.
