Did the b29???
« on: November 06, 2002, 11:06:41 PM »
Did the B29 Drop on Germany?

Would this be a legitimate bomber to bring into AH? Or was it just one of these Super Planes that only saw action at the very end?

I do know it dropped on Japan, but was it used extensively for carpet bombing etc, is my question?

Thanks

The B-29 was designed for the war on Germany, but in the actuall event it was only used against Japan.

It did not see action against Germany.  However, it saw plenty of real action--the war in the Pacific counts just as much as the war in Europe.


"but was it used extensively for carpet bombing etc"

B-29's were probably the most effective carpet bombers of WW2 (I wouldn't necessarily call that a good thing).

If we get full of Japanese planes, we may get it.
