1944 Battle of Kansas. Boeing B - 29 ....



This story is usually just a footnote in the story of the development of the B-29. Thank you, THG, for telling a more complete story.

My grandfather worked for Boeing during the war and was on one of the crews that did the test flights on the B29. I used to spend time with him in Kansas for summer vacations in the 60s. He would tell stories of the challenges, getting the planes ready for delivery, and some of them were covered in this video. He retired from Boeing in 1969. History Guy, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Thank God for Boeing and brave men.
