The Boeing B29 Super fortress. A marvel before her time. First prototype built in ‘42, and introduced in ‘44 with service into the war, and later she retired in September of ‘60. First models seemed to have serious and very serious headache engine problems, some even caught fire, I think one crashed like 3 minutes after takeoff, before they upgraded the engines to Pratt and Whitney engines. Flown primarily during World War II and the Korean War. She was obviously names after her predecessor, the B-17 Superfortress, flown during World War II. She was the first pressurized cabin aircraft, and first state of the art ballistic computers, designed to lead and shoot enemy aircraft. That’s right! There were no manned turrets on the 29. Only FIFI, Enola Gay, and Doc are the only 3 surviving and functioning B29 models in exclusive service for air shows, etc.
Must be something to see, one of those behemoth aircraft flying through the sky. I was watching a video on RUclips the other day of a tragic aircraft accident involving a B-17 and a smaller aircraft, I think it was a mustang, but I don't recall. Tragic loss of life and big loss for the few vintage aircraft of their type left. It would be nice if we could restore a few more of these vintage aircraft. I grew up next to a small airport and growing up I had the privilege of watching many of these classic aircraft in the skies above on the weekends during the summer. I don't recall ever seeing a B-29, but I saw plenty of other aircraft, old and new. My favorite was watching a stealth fighter fly over not long after the world found out they even existed.
@@BlackAtomProductions The Texas Raiders. A B17 and a P63 King Cobra. I’d seen all of the videos and from different perspectives, I personally believe it was an intentional crash, the way it seemed to go. Though I don’t know.
@@BlackAtomProductions Wasn't a Mustang, Was a Bell P-63 Aircobra. You can still see a B-29s flying as others have said. You can even take a ride but its $$$.
@@maxc9133 Not sure how you came to that conclusion. None of the analysis videos I watched suggested that. It was poor airshow control. The Aircobra was turning away when they collision occurred. He was belly up to the B-17. Wouldn't have been if it was intentional.
Only issue I have is the MOON...but then again, this is still impressive. I will listen to the chatter since I was in the MIL. LOL Thanks for posting this.
Thank you so much for uploading this. It's constantly in the background while I work as well as when I drive. I enjoy every second of it. Do you have a shorter version that I could download for car trips that do not have good internet reception?
I do not but I can give you a few ideas. You can download for offline listening, I believe RUclips has that as an option. You can also use a free program like VLC to download the video and then use video editing software like OpenShot to make it as long or short as you like if you want the video. If not, and you just want the audio, you can use a free program like Audacity to edit it to the length you like.
The beautiful B-29 Superfortress is one of my favorite aircraft of all time. Well done! You just earned yourself another subscriber! Do you perhaps take ambience requests? If yes, I have one for you!
Thank you so much, it's a great sound. My goal is to make a wide a variety as possible. I do take requests and if I can make it I will. I can't always, but if I can, I will. Thanks for listening!
@@BlackAtomProductions Could you possibly do a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ambience with the Disney Nautilus submarine? With the view either from the bridge, or the salon with the large circular window? Underwater sounds combined with that classic Nautilus sound effect, and maybe the light hum of the engines running in the background. Would something like that be possible?
Great idea but two issues I think… the chatter is too loud in the mix, and too frequent. It competes with the engine drone for attention and doesn’t work for me sadly. Sticking with just the engines for now!
My guess is where the plane was basically a big flying target it was to see if any enemy aircraft are in the vicinity. Good visibility probably also came in handy when flying in large formations with lots of other planes.
Visibility and shaped for pressurization. If the nose was built up with aluminum it wouldn't provide any more protection than plexiglass against enemy ordnance unless specifically armored with steel plates - which adds a lot of weight - so visibility was chosen instead. In the Pacific War, allied bombers were most vulnerable from a forward, level attack. However, the B-29 had an excellent, state-of-the-art defense system and so forward armor wasn't a priority, especially at the end of the war.

Yea, what happens when you rush things. It was more than engine issues that plagued the earlier models.

Just love the combinated propeller sound with the approach radio instead of only props
Glad to hear it and thanks for listening!

Bro I mf listened to one of your b29 vids and fell asleep through it, little did I know that was the first time I finished a 10 hour video 😭🙏
Glad to hear it. I hope you had a great night's rest.
Thank you for this. The oil pressure on No. 4 is a little low.
You're welcome, enjoy!
Yes, it seems the No. 4 is running hot. May have to stop over at Iwo Jima.

Thanks! The B-29 is a great aircraft to listen to while sleeping. Sleep well 😴
POV: You fly on a B-29 with the entire squadron to take revenge on the Japanese for Pearl Harbor.

Ok guys, Tokyo is down there. You may release your incendiary bombs.
Tokyo is such a fun city though!! The food Is to die for! 😂

Why did they make the nose a big glass bubble?? I've never understood why

This is not B 29 chatter. Liars!
