B-29 gear doors close before gear retracted

The doors start closing well before the gear is up and actually intersect with the wheels.

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Same thing happens on the P-38s.
