I hit my page up button to try and get a better look at the #1 engine...

I had to resist my impulse to try to move my head position around to get better views.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. 

A lot of cockpit space in that B-29.

I believe it is.

Swing around to the right to see the Flight Engineers station.  All of the engine controls are back there.

How did the pilot adjust power?

By giving orders to the Flight Engineer.

But I guess the big levers labeled "throttles" to the left of the pilots seat did work too...

I believe the larger overhead lines are actually for heated air, to keep the windows clear. With a pressuized cabin, window condinsation and frosting were a common problem.

D'oh.  I was looking for throttles on the center console.

Still, the engineer station appears to have all three power controls (throttle, prop pitch and ...?).  What was the pilot controlling?
