The largest and most advanced US aircraft to see combat in WWII,
the B-29 Superfortress was also the most expensive weapons system
of the war, even exceeding the cost of developing the atomic bomb.
Not surprisingly, the aircraft remained a part of the US arsenal in
the following years and again saw combat in Korea. The evolution of
the B-29 into the B-50 is covered in this bookthe second of two
volumesas is the B-50's part as an early nuclear deterrent. Not
only is the production of these aircraft illustrated, so are the
host of adaptations, from mother ship to X-planes to weather and
refueling aircraft. This volume chronicles the design, development,
and deployment of these later versions through photos gathered from
around the world.
