Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was the most technically advanced bomber of the Second World War, entering service with the USAAF in 1944 for strategic bombing operations against the Japanese home islands. The B-29A was a production variant built exclusively at Boeing's Renton plant, distinguished by a revised wing centre section and updated gun turret configuration. The type is best known for its role in the atomic bomb missions of August 1945, but B-29s flew thousands of conventional bombing and mining sorties across the Pacific theatre.
