RE: The only Bomber type in the World to ever deliver an Atomic Bomb in wartime, is still flying today!
She was a war machine without parallel! They designed her quickly, and it all worked perfectly! She was a predator without parallel, a war beast that owned the air!
The designers were gifted, and reached for an amazing level of design never reached before! No other aircraft could have carried the massive weight, over the great distances involved; to drop the atomic bomb, where needed!
This plane saved millions of lives with those two drops, and likely saved the Japanese race from extinction!
:O
sir smithlabs, sounds like you should write the description for it at the museum!
I agree on the last sentence.
They were trying to apologize for the bomb drop, but veterans got wind of it and RAISED HELL! They changed their minds, and made a decent display for the most famous B29 in the World!
That said, they likely would not have liked my write-up; SMH!
The last sentence was based on information from a book written by a Japanese officer called "Kaiten". He was trained to pilot on of these Kaitens, but survived the war.
>:(sir smithlabs! oh how interesting! and this Japanese officer and what he wrote was so true but what is a Kaiten?
The Kaiten was a torpedo with a driver. The retirement plan was poor....

:)Kaiten
Kaiten (回天, literal translation: "Return to Heaven", commonly rendered as "turn of the Heaven's will", "the heaven shaker") were manned torpedoes and suicide craft, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of World War II.
