are those who served with this plane who died and got the appreciation they deserve for the work that forced the crew.. the officers in the field are like heat worms working and getting names are the ones who sit while enjoying a cigar and his team who died in the field is just a number..Westerners live with arguments until the end

That is going to induce some claustrophobia having to crawl 50 seconds in a tight tunnel like that

Brilliant interview

Where is this filmed at?

Another informative video! I have only just finished reading a book of the B-29 At War and there was no description of traversing the tunnel nor the equalisation procedure when entering combat. Great to know. ❤️🇦🇺

Congratulations that was one of the best most interesting and informative videos ive seen give yourself a well earned pat on the back

Boeing, led by engineering vs years-later Ford.

what if the crew-man had a abnormally large head and didn't fit? 🤷‍♂

If you ever want to make longer videos and don't really know how, here is a pro tip: Linger a little bit with the camera on what ever it is you are showing, before going to the next section. When swept, the camera has a hard time focusing on details and the image becomes a little blurry.

This is clearly just the max 9 with seats removed

Blister agent is classed as a damaging agent with potential of being lethal if inhaled thus blistering and closing the airway. One of the many useless things I recall from NBC lessons

I was driving and 18 wheeler in Illinois. I pulled into this really tiny trucks stop with an airport out back with a B29 sitting 30 feet from my truck. The guys on the plane were nice enough let me crawl through the plane and take pictures. I also did the same (FIFI)in Pensacola 1981.

The 1955 movie Strategic Air Command has the main character pulling himself through the B-36 tunnel you mentioned.

Amazing. I've long wondered how effective B-29 defensive measures were. You've described very effective defense. It worked! Thanks.

Good video as usual, concise and to the point. I hope you some day do a deep dive on the German loss records and how that squares against Allied estimates.

P47 are better because I think they look cooler

But what if I want to become a human cannonball?

A very accurate and well presented video. Perhaps pan a little slower on your next video. I have been fortunate to crawl thru several B-29 tunnels and trolley thru one B-36 tunnel. Half way thru the B-36 you can feel a bit claustrophobic. You captured the B-29 well.

B29 POW in nippon said japs showed him schematics of B29 where how ?

Depressurised in combat zone but to equal outside pressure 30k ft or 12k to 15k where you can still breathe normally and temp would be liveable plus penertration wouldnt be fatal to a/c perhaps

It’s a shame they didn’t use the B29s remotely controlled turret system.

The airmen must've been tough back then, having no iphones.

They lost hundreds of those flawed patched together things, three hundred or more lost is unexcusable.

Thank you.Awesome. I found it beyond worthy of my time. American History.

Nicely done. It reminded of the times Mr. Fowler my sixth grade teacher was a B-29 pilot over Japan, he would tell us about flying patrols over Hiroshima and all the destruction. He said the shock wave from the blast pushed out to the surrounding hills.

俺なら余裕で眠ってしまうぜ！

.22 Energy It is calculated by multiplying the mass of the bullet by the square of its velocity and dividing by two. For the .22 long rifle cartridge, the muzzle energy varies depending on the type and weight of the bullet, but it is typically around 100 to 150 foot-pounds1

A quick story about that tunnel. A friend was crew on a B-29 and told me that the captain 👨‍✈️ thought it was great fun to either climb or dive every time he got in the tunnel 😂😮❤

It takes a village to fly this plane...

Didn't the B-36 have a cart in the tunnel section? This is very sporty.

5:45 jesus christ my ears are ringing just looking at that picture

I’m not grasping why the pressurized areas had to be depressurized on the bomb run ? I mean it’s a totally separate area, that’s the whole point. If you’re in your t-shirt as many of the crew would be since it was in fact pressurized, they’d freeze to death on the bomb run. Something doesn’t sound right here.

The poor guy in the tail ! Alone, all alone !

Wellnow we need to see a video about that B-36 tunnel. A cart system? Get outta here, I had no idea in all these years of aviation interest.

radio tranceiver at bottom in the camera pan on the opening it is a western electric TR 37 maybe 137 I bought it in california at a swapmeet ,w handbook declassed by paul kelly ( his name written and stamped)

The inside of that bomber is actually a lot more spacious than I imagined

One interesting thing I learned about the B-29 is that it had a rudimentary computer controlled fire control system for the gun turrets. This, of course, resulted in the B-29 being somewhat ahead of its time.

A journalist making up $hit ? I'm flabbergasted

Looks like it was built like your common present day tube slide.

Comment

I would think given the distances in the Pacific that the US covered in the 1930s the Army Air Corps would have wanted a long range fighter.

Die B-29 war ein Instrument zur Durchsetzung verbrecherischer Weltverschwörungsziele der US-Zionisten.

At which museum is this B-29 on display?

These huge aircraft carried small bombloads

@3:58 the narration says "Before entering combat areas, decrease cabin pressure . Or Increase altitude. " As increasing altitude is counter intuitive, I paused the video And the script on the video does NOT say 'increases altitude.

It's a long roundtrip flight from Guam to Japan to Guam during WW2. One of the qualifications of a tail gunner should have been "Spent time in solitary confinement in the Alaskan prison system during the winter."

I read somewhere, that this was the most expensive weapon system after the Manhattan project.

Thanks for the video. I've never been in a B29 before.🙂 I knew the B36 had a tunnel, but was unaware the B29 had one.

When this particular B-29 (T-SQUARE-54)arrived at Seattle’s Museum of Flight they had an open cockpit day. She was in rough shape then. Very pleased to see how well she looks now inside. Thanks for this video.
